I poked around on the forums but did not see this issue addressed, although I suspect I just don't know the correct term to search for 
I have configured my system to use 2 nvidia video cards, one of which is dual head, driving 3 monitors, and it appears to be working, except for one issue:
On my primary monitor, the screen seems to be running 1600 resolution on a 1200 resolution monitor, so the screen overlaps the monitor... thus if I maximize a window on that screen, I have to scroll to get to the edge of the window. yuck.
I have posted my xorg.conf in case it is the cause.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey, I'm running the same setup: 2x nvidia running 3 1280x1024 monitors in Xinerama. No such problems for me.
If the nvidia-settings GUI doesn't help then try removing some lines in Screen sections to let the driver autodetect more.
My Screen sections look like this (use your id, device, monitor names):
| Code: | Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0.0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 1
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 4
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 8
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 15
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 16
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
Also, in Monitor sections try commenting out HorizSync and VertRefresh - the driver should be able to autodetect if your monitors are not ancient. And use the latest driver if you aren't.
Alex. |
