FX 5200 Dual View + REDHAT 9

[Error6666]

I have installed a FX 5200 Dual View card in RedHat 9.
However when I start X I get the following error msg,

(EE) NVIDIA(0): No modes remaining for display device CRT-0

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have usable configuration

Could anyone please help me out with this. I have followed the instructions in the XF86config.example file but I still get this error msg.

Yes, I have seen that one several times.

Delete all stuff that has to do with modes-lines and have the software work out the mode that can work with your dual-setup. In my case I had the frequencies to high and just not enough memory for running both monitors (only 128mb....).

Just copy the lines below into your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

Here are the relevant lines from my twinview setup:

Hmmmm, your HorizSync 31.5-37.9 of monitor[1] does not make to much sence to me. There is indeed no mode left to be used.

Use the program gtf and try it yourself:

gtf 1024 768 37.5 (resolution x y and refresh)

The answer you get is

# 1024x768 @ 37.50 Hz (GTF) hsync: 29.44 kHz; pclk: 37.68 MHz

At 37.5Hz, hsync is 29.44kHz...... not within the ranges you defined! Nothing will fit, sorry.

Are you really sure about the values?

yeh 95% sure i have been playing with this config file for about 2 days and im still stuck. If you are familiar with IRC go to server irc2.beyondirc.net channel #devshed or #UFSS, also what should the monitor hsync ranges be?? I have a Dell flat screen not lcd its newer model i dont know which one exacly tho, and i have a compaq presario mv400.
