[ATrpms-devel] Problems with nVidia driver in FC6

[Paulo Cavalcanti]

Hi, Tako

nvidia driver accepts an option like this:

        Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"

This option is intended to be used when one uses the dvi output of the
graphics card to connect an LCD screen.

If the LCD is connected through the VGA output of the graphics card one
should use CRT instead.

If one misplaces CRT for DFP or vice-versa the screen becomes black and the
power save light blinks.

If you have two dvi outputs, have you tried using this option?

/Paulo Roma.
