Hey there i have a strange problem with my new nvidia GTX 960 card.
I try to get the following (i my mind very simple) setup, my secound screen left of my main (primary) screen, but it seems impossible - yes this sounds strange ...
I think its a problem with twinview in past with my old card and xinarama it works out of the box, but im not able to find out what the problem exactly is.
i try things like this make a file in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/ with the adapters and the leftof and things like this but X still ignore it, i had also try to edit my xorg.conf by hand :,(
but this dont work too ... so i dont know what can i still try.
will post output of xrandr, my xorg.conf hopefully one of you have a idea to fix this problem

| When I had nVidia card I used xrandr in my ~/.xinitrc to set up the displays. |

Maybe this is a new "feature" from the nvidia-drivers? |

| Looking at xrandr output there is DP1, not DP-1, and HDMI1, not HDMI-1. |

with nvidia settings I was able to move the location / change resolution / vfreq of the additional external monitor.
I use the latest available portage nvidia binary driver.
According to the nvidia faq, those location settings should also work with the binary driver. I have read that half a year ago.
As I do not always use the external monitor, i set it up on demand with the nvidia-settings tool to my current use case on every usage. |
