Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 + Dual Screen setup, Xorg.conf

You probably don't have glx working with the nv driver

glxinfo

should return

Code: Select all

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation

if glx is enabled
You have a really odd setup - I don't think I've seen two different video cards for two monitors ever before

As nv works you should probably be able to install the "nvidia" driver - only needed if you want 3D
Check in Nvidia Settings and XServer-Xorg (both from the menu)
Be very careful with Nvidia Settings, it will overwrite your xorg.conf
You need sudo for it to be sticky

This is a bit beyond the problems I usually solve

How do you use the monitors?
I mean what's shown on the one and not the other?
Think I need that to figure out what to do

It should work I think, see no reason why not. Could you make it easier for me and summarize your status. This is about post # 50 for today and yesterday

Yeah, status - simply summarize where you are so I don't have to read through it all again...
And you most definitely have found something interesting in error (EE)
Now, do you have a working screen form the old card?
I'm not used to twin screens so I'm a bit in the dark....
