(Sorry if this is a dup, i couldn't find my situation)
Hello everyone,
I got the bug to go dual-monitor, so I went and got a cheap PCI nvidia driven card and hooked up my old IBM G70 17" monitor. It won't work!!! I can only get display out of main monitor. Could someone look over my configs and see what I am doing wrong (and yes xinerama is one of my use flags, i just installed this system fresh with it).
Here's the error:
| Code: |
(WW) NV: No Matching Device Section for instance (BusID PCI:2:3:0) found
(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
|
Here's snip from XFree86 -scanpci -verbose:
| Code: |
(1:0:0) Unknown card (0x1545/0x020b) using a nVidia Corporation NV1DR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR]
(2:3:0) Unknown card (0x1569/0x002c) using a nVidia Corporation NV6 [Vanta/Vanta LT]

Here's my XF86Config (with comments deleted):

I have a similiar setup with 2 nvidia cards (GF3-Ti200 & GF4-MX-PCI)
The configuration is much the same as my working one. I'll give it another scan but I don't see anything wrong with it as is. Here's the relevant portion of my working config file. (Keep in mind you can use the nvidia driver on one but not both cards for some reason--the whole system freezes when started otherwise)

It seems that the only difference is that your xinerama=true is in the server flags section, mine is in the screen section (as per the directions i read)... I'll try moving that and see what it does tomorrow.
Thanks thadk

| You have Screen 1/0 in the Device section as well. Might want to check those. |

The screens in the device sections was the problem... Didn't notice (it was in the directions I found on the internet to do that) that difference. Commented lines out, and up came X with both monitors!
Now I need to go get another samsung 151v flatpanel so that both monitors match...
Thanks again thadk! I owe you one.
