Bug Description

I have 2 SamsungSyncmaster 191 flat panel LCD monitors and an eVGA 7600GS graphics card. One monitor is connected as analog (thus monitor 1) and the other as digital. The digital conection works perfectly but the analog one flashes total garbage on the screen.

This is when used as a liveCD. I did not install the RC.

6.06 works just fine with the two monitors. If I remember correctly the original install showed nothing on one monitor. I now have them set up with Twinview.

I have a very similar problem. What I ended up figuring out was that when I use the 'nv' driver. The 'nvidia' driver does not have this problem.

Do you use the binary nvidia driver, or the free nv driver? Twinview would suggest nvidia.

The Driver listed in xorg.conf is Nvidia.

Thanks.

NVIDIA binary driver bug.

Does this problem still happen in Feisty?
