 |
|
hi everybody,
I have a dual head setup with two CRT monitors. I use nvidia drivers.
Everything works perfectly except that the right monitor does not display the green color, resulting in a purple 'white' and a black 'green' .
I know the monitor and the cable to work well (i tested them on another box). Here are relevant parts of my xorg.conf file:
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Dual Head"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
# Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "glx"
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
VendorName "nVidia Corporation"
BoardName "NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT,CRT"
Option "TwinView" "on"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "29-82"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60-70"
Option "Metamodes" "1600x1200, 1600x1200"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200"
EndSubSection
EndSection

| Does the VIDEO CARD work well? Try switching the two monitors and see what it gives then. |

yeah i'm quite sure that the pinholes are OK but maybe it's internal. I don't have the necessary hardware to test the card tough (oscilloscope,...)
