Dual monitor setup
Installed Squeeze on my laptop and hooked up an external monitor, worked fine for few days and after a reboot yesterday, there is not output to the external monitor.
it's got a message on the screen saying to use optimal resolution 1280 x 1024 60Hz.
laptop has an nvidia Gforce 7400 GPU
That's how it's setup. Never has this issue before. I am using the default video driver installed by Debian. I think it's nouveau.
I tried to check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
But it's not there.
Why is there no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then what configuration file is the X using?
Is Debian using nouveau, how to check what driver is being used?
I tried to reconfigure X by following the instructions from http://wiki.debian.org/Xorg?action="">
steps:
- Switch to a console as root (not a terminal emulator in X), then run:
/etc/init.d/gdm3 stop
cd /etc/X11/
Xorg -configure
this process created a /root/xorg.conf file. is it supposed to be at that location?
This did not resolve the issue.
Any suggestions?
