Linux Mint Forums

I have a dual head video card which is has two identical monitors attached.
Nvidia settings finds only one monitor correctly and the other a much lower resolution unknown type.

What to do I need to change in nvidia-xconfig to have both screens in the same (1440x900) resolution

This problem only started with the update to with Gnome 3 .
The X.Org X server -- Nouveau display drivers were removed by Gnome 3 so I had to switch to the nvidia-glx (173.xx) .
I know this is not really a Mint issue but I can not finding anything on-line yet, that doesn't leave me with with a black screen or just just a text log in !

For the record I'm using LMDE 32 with all 5 levels updated and it's a clean install with only chrome, cheese and webcamstudio as added apps.

Forgot I posted this but well disappointed with not a a single reply

Truth is this a bigger problem then I thought !

I have now got a ATI X1650 card in there and have exactly the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so please continue this here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=191&t=96730 and If it gets solved I'll post this one solved as well!

Can't believe this problem is so hard to find answers !!!!

as you said it has to do with Gnome 3, maybe this link could help you

We need your screen configuration: xrandr -q and the version of Xrandr: xrandr -v

Xrandr is the application for the screen's detection used by Linux.

AH have found out that one of the monitors is not supplying it's ID info.

SO....can someone tell me how to manually set the monitor settings
