GeForce 9800 GX2 and TwinView

[bgreen]

Hello,

Is it possible to use TwinView with the GeForce 9800 GX2?

It is not working for me, but it may be a hardware problem.
I do not have the MultiGPU or SLI options enabled.
The XServer log does not report a problem with enabling TwinView, but it instead reports that only one display was found.

I have two displays connected to the card, though the status light for the second DVI connector is yellow rather than green. The TwinView-enabled xorg.conf configuration I am using works fine when a GeForce 8800 is plugged in.

My nvidia-bug-report.log is attached.

Hi, I have the same problem, but I use nvidia-xconfig "--enable-all-gpus --twinview --sli-Off --multigpu=Off" and I have 2 monitors output, but if I start aplication which I need to run, it`s not like twinview, but desktop has this behavior.

Please some advice . It`s drive me crazy

this xorg.conf doesn't give me twinview :s
It's like if I use nvidia-settings and use "xinerama" in Separate X screen. So... still no twinview!
