Hullo there,
I've bought a PNY geforce 7600GS graphics card, with VGA and dual link DVI. I then bought a second monitor - an HP w1907v widescreen with recommended res of 1440x900@60. The first monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 913N.
I've had a setup similar working on another computer, also running debian, with a dual head matrox card and two identical monitors. I copied the config over and after much sweat and tears, altered and tweaked according to my Xorg logs warnings and hints.
Both monitors refuse to work at the same time though. The only way I can get the widescreen to behave sensibly is using some bizarre xorg.conf.
Here is the dual head one which won't drive both monitors, followed by the odd little conf that made the widescreen work, then the conf that works for the other setup, and finally the log file. http://debian.pastebin.com/m53fa4692
The log file is full of warnings about range - it looks as though it is ignoring my conf saying to only use the 1440x900.
I'm comnpletely boggled and confused by now though.
Any hints welcome,
Thanks!
Jenny
