2 monitors on Nvidia GeForce 5700LE using x.org
Hello,
I was trying out x.org to use 2 monitors with my Nvidia GeForce 5700LE.
After tinkering with the xorg.conf, I finally got the two monitors
running using the AGP and the DVI ports(with DVI-AGP converter).
However, the desktop is like a widescreen now. Its 2560x1024@75Hz now
with both monitors running half of it i.e. 1280x1024. Its like my
earlier single monitor workspace is streched to double the size.
It would be nice to have one workspace on each desktop. With a single
workspace on 2monitors, I can't even play Tux Racer as the games screen
is rendered half on each monitor. Can it be done? Also, with two
different workspaces on the monitors would it be possible for each
monitor to have different resolutions at different frequency.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
/KS
My current xorg.conf is below:
