Setting up one independent monitor and one clone pair?
Setting up one independent monitor and one clone pair?
Fedora RedHat Enterprise 5
X version 7.1.1
I've been digging around for a while to try and come up with some solutions, and I'm finally caving and asking for help.
I have two PCIe nvidia cards, each with one DVI and two displayport outputs. I'm trying to set my displays up such that:
GPU-0: DVI: Primary screen, DisplayPort-0: Nothing, DisplayPort-1: Nothing
GPU-1: DVI: Seperate X-Screen, DisplayPort-1: Clone of Seperate X-Screen at higher refresh, DisplayPort-2: Nothing
Thus far I'm having a LOT of trouble even getting anything to appear on the displayports on GPU-1 at all, much less a cloned image. Here's the general idea of what I've been trying:
Set up a section "monitor" for each of the screens we want. Set a Modeline customized with the resolution / framerate we want for each.
Set up three section "device"s, each tied to a BusID; one is tied to BusID 6:0:0, two are tied to BusID 4:0:0.
Set up three section "screen"s each tied to a monitor/device combination above.
Here's what the xorg.conf currently looks like (some parts intentionally blanked out because of proprietary issues)...

I know it's a gigantic mess right now as I've been experimenting a lot. If someone can suggest a basic skeleton xorg.conf for one x-screen on GPU-0, one display on GPU-1 cloned onto ANOTHER display on GPU-1 (preferably with a different frequency), it would be much appreciated.
