Hi,
--- edited
the X86Config below has been changed and is now fully functional, thanks to Andy.
--- original post
I have tried to get the dual head (twinview) working on the above mentioned board, but to no avail. The problem is: when starting X, the second monitor is shortly activated but then it falls back to standby. I have installed and compiled the latest drivers from NVIDIA and they work well with a single head.
Here is my XF86Config, setup as to the instructions given in the readme, to eventually support a dual head display.
I have already tried the solutions suggested by the other members on this forum, but they did not work either.
Thanks in advance!
regards,
Carsten
