PostPosted: Thu Apr 06, 2006 12:07 pm    Post subject: nvidia twinview, different resolutions without panning Reply with quote

Hi,

I have a problem with nvidia twinview. I have one monitor running at 1280x1024 and the other running at 1024x768. The problem is that the big monitor (1280x1024), is "zoomed" in and when i move the mouse to the left border it pans/scrolls. Is there a way to solve this? or do i have to use the same resolution om both monitors,

thanks

You are best off using the same resolution on both monitors.

If you run the card as 2 seperate devices it's pretty easy to get them running at different resolutions, but you lose the ability to move appos easliy from one to the other.

Check out the config I listed in this thread. I was running Monitor 0 at 1280 and Monitor 1 at 1024 without a problem. The setup it's in will make it 2 seperate display devices. If you want you can eliminate the setup for the "nvidia1" Display device and uncomment all the TwinView stuff in the config for "nvidia0"

thanks for the replys, i think ill use the same resoultion on both monitors, cause i think moving windows between them is important. guess ill have to live with 60hz on one of them.

It is possible to use different resolutions without panning. Here is my config:
Code:
Section "Device"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Identifier      "Geforce Go 6600"
        Option          "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
        Option          "RenderAccel"           "true"
        Option          "NoLogo"                "true"
        Option          "UseEdidDpi"            "false"
        Option          "DPI"                   "96 x 96"

        Option          "TwinView"              "on"
        Option          "TVOutFormat"           "SVIDEO"
        Option          "TVStandard"            "PAL-B"
        Option          "ConnectedMonitor"      "DFP, TV"
        Option          "TwinViewOrientation"   "TV-0 RightOf DFP-0"
        Option          "HorizSync"             "DFP-0: 30-75; TV-0: 30-50"
        Option          "VertRefresh"           "DFP-0: 60-75; TV-0: 50-60"
        Option          "MetaModes"             "DFP-0: 1280x800, TV-0: 1024x768"
EndSection


True that my screens are DFP and TV, but I see no reason why it shouldn't be the same for two CRTs, just use CRT-0 and CRT-1.
