| Post subject: | Twinview and 7.2 - issue solved |
I have been running X in twinview mode for years. Up until the 7.2 release, I have had no issues. Now, with a reboot, my second monitor (Samsung LCD TV) comes up as disabled. I have to re-enable it (nvidia-settings) and things are fine. I was curious this weekend (had some time - raining here today), so I threw an extra drive in my machine and rebuilt from scratch. Works fine with 7.1... not fresh 7.2. Anybody else seeing this (recognizing that use of twinview is rare...)? |

Is the tv on when you reboot? |

Yes - the system sees it; it just disables it. All I have to do is re-enable... The odd thing is that X seems to ignore xorg.cong settings for the second monitor. I can make changes to xorg.conf (ex. image location) and it ignores it. The nvidia-settings screen resets to disabled... the xorg.conf file is still correct (even with changes that i may have made before the reboot...). Additionally, if I disconnect the first monitor (computer monitor) then the TV comes up fine... |

I had similar problems with 7.2 and svideo output not stick through a reboot. Found I had to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-automv.conf instead of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. There are a few other config files you can look at in that dir if that one doesn't fix it. |

Thanks goofee... This fixed the problem. I have searched other forums for this problem and have found nothing. I have looked for a change to NFS noted on the NFS blogs - again, nothing. For others, I took the "monitor", "device", and "sceen" sections from xorg.conf and replaced those sections in 20-automv.conf. |
