Here is my basic info:
Intel Motherboard DP55WG, CPU i7 860, 8 gb ram XFXForce nvidia 9400GT PCI-e Part No PV-T94G-ZAH2 Ubuntu 64-bit 9.10 linux, kernel 2.6.31-20-generic nvidia driver 195.36.15 from the PPA installed by synaptic From /proc nvidia interface: Model: GeForce 9400 GT IRQ: 16 Video BIOS: 62.94.61.00.58 Card Type: PCI-E DMA Size: 40 bits DMA Mask: 0xffffffffff Bus Location: 01.00.0 My desired configuration is to be able to boot my system 90% of the time without the second monitor of a dual monitor configuration. I desire to keep this second monitor connected but powered off. I expect to use nvidia TwinView to allow me to use the second monitor when needed. Using nvidia-settings I created a base xorg.conf which almost attains the desired configuration. The file is shown below. The only thing I added or edited by hand was these 3 lines: Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-1, CRT-0" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "CRT-1 LeftOf CRT-0" Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-1, CRT-0" The problem is that the Ubuntu X login appears on the second monitor. Here is the boot sequence when both monitors are powered:
The previous sequence will also happen even when the Secondary is OFF at the boot time and powered up at the point of expecting to see the login screen. How do I get the X login screen to always come up on the Primary? Here is the current xorg.conf: Code:
