GolfProRM Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I've got two monitors hooked up to my GeForce4 Ti4200 video card (it's got a VGA port and a DVI port w/ VGA Adapter). How can I setup Mandrake 9.1 to recognize/use them both like I do in Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfProRM Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 thanks Bruno... I'll have to play with stuff once I get home... couldn't get VNC to work for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfProRM Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 definitely... I am thoroughly enjoying this... I was even 10 min late back from lunch because I was messing with stuff! Luckily, my boss was at lunch when I got back, so he didn't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfProRM Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 UPDATE! After installing the NVIDIA linux drivers (See here for how), and installing Yanc (see Bruno's post above), I was able to get the dual monitors going... I had to read the documentation for all the customization info (ALWAYS a good idea), but now it's beautiful.... I'm going to hopefully get a screenshot up here in a min!

GolfProRM Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Any ideas if you can make the taskbar extend all the way across the screen? I figured out how to move it between monitors... Taskbar control module unter the Layout -> Arrangement -> Screen portion...It's got a Xinerama screen choice... won't let me extend it to both monitors though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Sorry Ryan, I´ve got only one ! You´ll have to find that out for yourself ! Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Due to my wonderful experiences with Linux (so far), I decided to fire things up! (See my new avatar) P.S. if it doesn't work right, refresh your page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
