Using a GeForce FX 5600 (PCI id 10de:0312), which has three
outputs: one DVI-I, one VGA, and a TV-OUT, with the 4496 and 5328 drivers under Linux (Red Hat 9, x86). I'd like to use the card in 1024x768@60Hz clone mode, as with Option "TwinView" "True" Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone" Option "ConnectedMonitors" "CRT, CRT" and suitable settings for SecondMonitorHorizSync etc. Result: I can use *either* output but not both at once. If both outputs are connected at boot time, the text console appears on both (good), but when I start X, the DVI-I-as-VGA output goes blank. XFree86.0.log includes the interesting message: (WW) NVIDIA(0): Multiple displays connected, but only one display allowed; (WW) NVIDIA(0): using first display So, is this really a single-output card, just offering dual connectors for convenience? I don't know more about the card than that the nvidia driver calls it "GeForce FX 5600" -- I didn't purchase it. |

All GeForce GPU hardware after NV20 (GeForce 3) have dual-DACs capable of nView. You have a software config problem.
