PNY GeForce 6600 card on Suse 9.3 with dual head

eboatman · 08-26-05, 12:58 PM

I need help. I am running SUSE 9.3 and trying to set up a dual head sysem with a PNY (nVidia) GeForce 6600 AGP 8X. As I load the new operating system it works ok but when I test it in Sax the video shows only 256 colors and no mouse pointer (if I move the mouse the buttons light up but there is no pointer).

Also Sax will not let me set up dual monitors it states that there is ont a dual monitor system present.

Can any one help a newbie?

eboatman,
You'll need to provide alot more information:
0) How did you install/setup the nvidia driver?
1) Please post an nvidia-bug-report.log
2) Are you trying to setup TwinView and/or Xinerama?

Please see the NVIDIA driver README for instructions on how to setup TwinView:
/usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README.txt

Thanks,
Lonni
