hi,

i've never been in this NG before, but i've read most of the theads
and it seems linux drivers is not a common topic here, but i hope
someone has a hint for me.

i'm running a geforce2mx400 on suse linux with x.org-server and driver
version 7676, which is almost the latest.

i tried many combinations in the config, but still haven't got
twinview make work.

i supposed this maybe a bug in the driver, though i'd three other
drivers running before, pure tv-out via svhs works and with
windooze/nvidia drivers even twin-/dualview works.
another thought was that nvidia doesn't make much efforts on the linux
driver and its capabilities.

has anyone got that thing working in a similar configuration?

I had a bit of trouble getting Twinview to work on Mandrake 10.2 (worked
fine for 9.1) for a few weeks, so I asked nVidia for help. Luckily they
were able to set me straight.

I had to make some additions to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. I added these
lines to my Screen section in the file:

Option "TwinView" "yes"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768"

Subsection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubsection

I inserted these after the Identifier, Device, DefaultColorDepth, etc.
entries in that section and before the various "Display" subsections.

You can, of course, change the resolutions in the MetaModes Option and
Modes entry in the display subsection to any resolution that is supported
by your monitor, as well as alter the orientation depending on whether
your primary monitor is on the left or right side.
