Sorry Emil, but I am no longer working on the same box so I can’t try it myself.

I do believe you will have to play a little bit with Xinerama. There is a good explanation of various display modes while using two, or more monitors here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=def28a79b19c5007375ba301e40502c0&p=1292439&postcount=9

Good luck!

I have exactly the opposite problem. I have one monitor acting as a primary. I would like the two monitors to be treated as one large monitor. Maximizing a window should cover both monitor. Any suggestions on how to achieve this the nvidia-settings tool or using the xorg.conf file?

Thanks

dpkg-reconfigure is part of the standard dpkg tools that are used on Debian based distributions for package management (.deb). After you install a package like Xorg it creates a configuration file based on your hardware.

dpkg-reconfigure just forces this process to run again and since you install the drivers before running reconfigure it does a much better job of understanding you hardware and creating a proper config file.

After installing the nvidia drivers my second monitor didn’t have a picture, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to run the configuration again.

I’m glad this article was helpful to you.

Thanks for this article. I got the second monitor running fine but was stumped regarding the dialogs. The reconfigure command worked a treat.

Just one question – How did you find out about the command and why it was needed?
