Nvidia TwinView XF86Config-4 problems
I'm trying to get the dual-head working on my GeForce4 ti4400 on Mandrake 9.2. I don't think i totally understand what they're trying to say with configuring the XF86Config-4 file. I get an error when trying to start X with the other screen enabled. I know the driver itself is working because when I startx i see the nvidia logo. Here i a copy of my XF86Config-4 and below that is what error I get. Some stuff is cut out that didn't really have anything to do with it, but I think this is all the information I have that you could use to help me.
And here is basically what it says when I startx.Code:# File generated by XFdrake. # ********************************************************************** # Refer To The XF86Config man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

Is there no one that uses twinview? What does your XF86Config-4 look like? Can someone at least post that to see if there's something I'm doing wrong? Posted on 3 board and no replies.
