I have two Dell P1110 monitors and 2 video cards in my system:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2
Pro] (rev 15)
02:07.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP
(rev 5c)
trying to run both at:
1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz
using xfree-4.3.0-r3 (gentoo)
at a depth of 24 one will be at 106.1 Khz/85 Hz 1600x1200 and the other at
87.7Khz/70Hz 1600x1200
at a depth of 16 both are at 106.1Khz/85Hz 1600x1200 (and I don't feel
like I'm going to puke!)
I don't understand why one monitor will drop down in hsync and
VerticalSync. Maybe my XF86Config file is lacking? Can I force refresh
rates (H and V) on the mode lines? Anyone have a favorite resource for
figuring this out.. I must be googling with the wrong word. not getting
much info.
here's what I do have inmy XF86Config:
Both monitors are the same so here's the monitor section:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 400 300 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "DEL"
ModelName "DELL P1110"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 30-121
VertRefresh 48-160
EndSection
