 Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2008 1:28 pm Post subject: NVIDIA dual screen artifacts when using single output |
 |
|
Hello,
I have searched the forum for various solutions but haven't quite found what I am looking for. I am running Gentoo on a Quad Core machine. Until my 8800GTX card, same configuration always worked. Now with my new GTX 280, I get screen artifacts when only ONE screen is connected. I have been using that configuration with previous said card and never got the problem before. Artifact occur especially when moving effects on desktop (icons magnification,etc ...) occur. I am not running Compiz.
So the system is gentoo on a 2.6.26 kernel with 177.80 (same results with 177.82 and 180.x beta series). Just to confirm, as soon as i connect the second screen (LCD TV), all artifacts disappear.
For starters, here is my xorg.conf :

Apparently the problem in single screen mode (when second cable is disconneted) is that it disables the nvidia module :
