Yep, unfortunately the "nv" driver does not support dualhead operation yet, so connecting multiple displays will result in undefined operation. There is a new Nvidia employee now working on the "nv" driver upstream, however I'm not sure if he plans on adding multihead support to the driver in the future or not. If you use multiple separate cards however, then dualhead should work, but it wont work with 2 heads on one card with the 'nv' driver. You might want to file a feature enhancement request to X.Org bugzilla for dualhead support in 'nv' though. Not sure what nvidia's plans are, but it probably doesn't hurt to see the feature requested there more... perhaps if they see enough interest they'll implement it sometime soon. ;o) TTYL |
