http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi I've installed Fedora 17 and installed the necessary libraries and drivers for my nVidia card: Code: $lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] (rev a1) I have two monitors: Code: Dell 2208WFP (1680x1050), DVI ViewSonic VG930m-3 (1280x1024), DVI I want for each display its own Xscreen (i.e., Twindisplay feature is off). So I used (sudo) nvidia-settings (driver version 304.32) and saved the xorg.config file: Code: $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # n (HowTos)

currently, I have a lubuntu laptop with nvidia driver installed.

I'm trying to extend my display, but (after a couple of reboots) all I can see on the other display is a big X whenever I move my cursor to that display.

below is my xorg.conf file:

# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 295.49 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-07.nvidia.

I'm trying to configure my Nvidia card  running:nvidia-settings but I get the message:You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.My laptop has 2 cards:lspci|grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics

Well ever since I have used dual monitors with the NVIDIA X Server Settings program my xorg process has been crashing after a while, and its generally a pretty long while of like 6 hours afterwards. Before NVIDIA changed my xorg.conf file I only had xorg crash like twice in 2 months, I can't figure out what is going on.

I have an Xubuntu system:

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and installed the nvidia drivers from their website (304.60 Latest Long Lived Branch).

They are just not working.

I have Ubuntu PP desktop 64 bits with recommended nvidia drivers. I have 1 Monitor and 1 TV connected to the same video card Geforce 9800 GT (2 DVI).

I use the TV from time to time as a second monitor. Because the settings were not all that clear I messed around with Xinerama and XServer configuration.
