Dual Monitor 4:3 and 16:9 3 years 11 weeks ago

Hello

I'm new on the Linux Scene, i've installed Fedora 12 two days ago and since then I'm trying to figure out how to solve my problem on working with 2 monitors but with no success.

Let me try to explain my situation:

Editing Xorg.conf please help. 3 years 28 weeks ago

I have set-up my Linux box but it is running it at 1600 x 1200 when my screen can handle 1920 x 1080. but when i set it too this some pixels fall off the screen. So how do i edit my xorg.conf to be able to output 1080 in my 32 inch screen. i will post my xorg.conf

yes i have looked but I'm a new Linux user and would appreciate any help i can get.

Can someone please help me? everytime I restart, I get this message saying "Failed to initialize the Nvidia kernel..." and then have to run in low graphics mode. I installed v. 195, rebooted and then started to get this message.

Here's a copy of my xorg.conf file if it helps.

i'm experiencing a strange problem with dual monitors. when i set the dual monitor via "nvidia settings" and save the setting to xorg.conf, the default unity theme and icons are turning back to gtk default.

I have this new asus laptop with Nvidia Geforce GTX 260M gpu. My problem is the refresh rate is low with ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 beta even though I have installed the latest driver from nvidia web site.

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.
