<0> anyone know how to setup dual monitor display in linux using an nvidia FX 5200 card? I know it's possible, but can't find any howto's
<1> hmm
<1> can't do that on my fedora
<1> since it pushes me to select monitor type
<1> and i've got TV connected
<1> but on windows it's damn easy :p
<0> couldnt get it to work under windows either.
<0> I couldnt find anything on twinview.
<0> I ran the latest drivers and forceware
<0> how do you find you busid?
<1> for windows? i do not need to know that one ;p
<1> btw. does dmesg | grep Bus ? (newbie linux user warning)
<2> i'm using gcc 3.4, and when i try to install nvidia driver i can't cause it want gcc 3.3
<2> why i do?
<3> Is the NVAGP module in the main linux kernel tree (being Symbol: AGP_NVIDIA)?
<3> I want to use the NVAGP module, and not the agpgart driver from the main linux kernel tree.
<4> hi, why does a fx5200 PCI not start with my 7900 GT pcie?
<4> says that the GPUs are incompatible
<4> this baffles me, since they are both nvidia chips - both using nvidia drivers...
<4> and a separate instance at that
<5> regr***o_damonus: Are you trying to use Xinerama?
<4> yep
<5> You might need to not use Xinerama.
<4> uh..
<4> AaronP, i need xinerama for at least the two screens on the 7900GT
<5> You can use Twinview for pairs of screens on a card.
<4> if the third screen on the fx5200 is separated, i can deal with that...but i don't know how that's possible, unless I tried psuedo-xinerama via the nvidia drivers
<4> AaronP, possible to join the third screen with the twinview using xinerama?
<4> it woudl be best if i could have three joined screens
<5> No, the cards aren't compatible
<4> that ****s. why arne't they compatible?
<4> AaronP, so i would have the third screen on the fx5200 be separate, but my two 7900GT screens would be joined with twinview?
<4> i wonder how that would play in Xgl... hmm..
<5> Correct.
<4> AaronP, each screen would be hardware accelerated, right? and in that kind of situation, meaning separate screens, what does a typical window manager do with that?
<5> Right, they'd still be hardware accelerated. Most window managers will manage all the screens on the X server.
<5> I actually prefer separate screens because it means I can switch desktops on them independently.
<4> AaronP, i wonder what compiz would do with that =)...
<4> that could be pretty cool....
<4> AaronP, the only thing that ****s is the diability to move or span windows across more than one screen. in my case though, if it does work, i could still havetwo screens that do it
<5> Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to move windows between screens sometimes
<5> The main problem is Firefox, which can't create windows on multiple screens unless you create separate profiles.
<4> AaronP, but i use two monitors now. the third one is only for certain apps, like chat and crap. maybe some videos. i don't need to span that stuff or move it between
<4> AaronP, ;O oh... =/ that's not happy.
<5> Yeah, then Twinview + one extra screen would be okay.
<4> AaronP, i'll just keep that in mind. maybe i'll create a profile, eh. who knows
<5> I just use Konqueror.
<4> hmm
<4> don't like konq. too much kde ;P
<5> I consider it a bug in Firefox, tho.
<4> to be honest...i hate all browsers
<4> that's why eventually i'm going to take some of firefox's code, cuz i think it's the best, and build a frontend for it with gui and stuff
<5> I think there are a few Gecko-based browsers.
<5> Galeon, I think, is one.
<5> Haven't tried it in ages, though.
<4> gecko? i like gtk myself
<4> i think mozilla uses gecko
<5> Gecko is the Firefox HTML engine.
<4> >_<
<4> i thought that was the gui toolkit
<4> O_o what am i thinking of then?
<5> Dunno
<5> Cocoa?
<4> hmm. maybe that
<4> but whatever. yeah, i think the firefox html interpreter is the best out there
<4> in my experience that is
<5> Yeah, it works well.
<4> opera might be alright, but on linux, opera has trouble with logging in sometimes
<4> and that isn't an html thing, but still
<5> Creates and destroys too many pixmaps for my tastes, but that's probably just the driver developer in me... :)
<4> xD
<4> opera does?
<5> No, Firefox.
<4> lol
<4> AaronP, driver dev..? >_>
<5> It creates and destroys a pixmap every time you mouse over a link, whether or not the link changes.
<5> At least, it did with whatever version I was testing.
<5> Yeah, I work for NVIDIA.
<4> o.o
<4> AaronP, ;P i'm a beginner learning C. I have humongous almost-unattainable dreams for a program
<5> Good! ;)
<4> have a few people on the "team" already, but we haven't started because most of us haven't learned C yet. we're just gathering ideas
<4> do you think it's bad to shoot for something incredible even though I'm newer than hell?
<4> everyone is telling me that my project is nearly impossible and way too high for my level, even if i do learn C
<5> Hmm... That's a good question.
<5> The thing I would worry about is getting burned out.
<4> AaronP, i don't think i'mma start programming the huge thing first. i will probably program small apps or libs that can eventually *help* me with the bigger project
<5> Yeah, that sounds good.
<4> k, cool
<4> AaronP, you want to see some of the ideas? you can if you're interested. you can probably join the team too if you want, but i don't suspect you have the time or desire for it
<7> So - any news as to when the drivers will be X.org 7.1 compatible?
<5> I actually have to go...
<5> Symian: The next official release will support X.org 7.1
<4> AaronP, alright, cool. any chance you could see them later?
<5> regr***o_damonus: Maybe.
<4> AaronP, what timezone are you in? what locale
<7> The next official release? Awesome! So we don't need to wait for the 9xxx series?
<5> PDT
<5> 9xxx *is* the next official release.
<4> PDT..what major city/country?
<5> San Jose.
<4> oh...i live in arizona. alright
<7> Oh, really? Is that due months from now, or days?
<5> Symian: I can't comment on release schedules, sorry
<7> That's fine - thanks.
<7> I appreciate the update.
<5> I would, but I'd get in trouble. :P
<4> lols
<7> I understand. We all have to deal with that.
<4> AaronP, thanks for the help. i've been trying to figure out the triple-screen thing for some time
<4> you're sure that it will work without xinerama?
<7> "When will you write me that script?" "I can't comment on release schedules." Well, that might get me fired, but I understand.
<8> Hi guys.. Just trying to find a nvidia card (not too expensive) that is AGP based and support xrandr under linux? Can anyone suggest a decent one?
<4> AaronP, you around?
<9> Greetings everybody!
<10> hello
<11> hello
<5> Hey MacSlow
<11> :o
<11> I need help to install nvidia on debian!
<12> install nvidia? open your computer case, plug the card(s) into there, close it again
<9> hi AaronP
<12> then you have installed your nvidia (whatever)
<13> hey any of you using the hdtv break out pods on your geforce cards
<10> i got a problem with my sources.list when i shall install nVIDIA drivers, i get this error: Installation of the nvidia-kernel-source source failed. Ignoring this package. Maybe you need to add something to sources.list, maybe the contrib and non-free archives. This have i added to the sources file but it still dont work: http://pastebin.ca/90257 ..
<14> hello
<15> the recent driver works with Xorg 7.1 ?
<15> ... and hi :D
<16> no
<15> u know when a new driver is supposed to be released around?
<17> we don't know that

<18> BubbaSmith, what do you have against lilo and stitch?
<16> bot, dude
<14> hello
<20> does anyone know what it means when graphics cards are advertised as GeForce but some other brand than nvidia? What are they, and do they use nvidia drivers?
<21> Hi all
<17> there were some Chinese boards which advertise Geforce
<5> BCMM: NVIDIA doesn't make GeForces, just the chips.
<17> some even cloned the nvidia control panel
<22> Thunderbird: ahhaha
<21> How good is Linux support for PCI-E graphics cards?
<17> some XGI chips were used
