Mike is there anything we have to do in the XF86Config to have the output come on the alternate controller? The probe succeeded because we use the video BIOS. I've no DVI panel hardware and no experience configuring or using XFree86 on LCD panels, so I'm afraid I can't really give an informed answer. ;o/ What I can however say for sure, is that the "nv" driver DVI support is experimental only and not something Red Hat "supports" other than that we ship it because it is in XFree86. The DVI support there is known to have problems, and unfortunately for both us, and for Nvidia hardware owners using the "nv" driver, only Nvidia can really fix the driver problems. All I can do is refer people to the "nv" manpage, and to XFree86.org bugzilla for Nvidia to be able to investigate driver specific problems and queries, and fix and/or recommend workarounds. I do really need to be sent a flat panel display some time soon however if I'm expected to even be able to remotely try to investigate LCD panel related problems. Don't know if this is the answer or not, but from the "nv" driver manpage: Option "CrtcNumber" "integer" nForce2, Quadro4, GeForce4 and NV30 may have two video outputs. The driver attempts to autodetect which one the monitor is con- nected to. In the case that autodetection picks the wrong one, this option may be used to force usage of a particular output. The options are "0" or "1". Default: autodetected. Option "FlatPanel" "boolean" The driver usually cannot autodetect the presence of a flat panel so this option should be set when used with a flat panel. With this driver a flat panel will only work if it was POSTed by the BIOS, that is, the machine must have booted to the panel. Default: off. msf, does this help? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88360 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
