Hello, ok just upgraded to 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 and am having issues with dual monitor setup. On first boot all seemed ok but then one monitor went to sleep and would not wake up, after a reboot both monitors did the same.

Another reboot and this time only one monitor is working?

Boot back to 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 and all is ok!

using xorg-server-1.6.5-r1

any ideas?

cheers

Can we see your xorg.conf?

Did you make any changes between kernels to your .config?

thanks for reply.

No changes made to xorg.conf at all only changes to .config were those made when running 'make oldconfig' and to most of those i did No.

Code:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

backup your xorg.conf a create a new one with just the following:

Code:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "VideoCard"
    Driver         "nvidia"
EndSection


Does it make a difference?
