XOrg with nVidia Geforce Go 6600TE/6200TE Not so long ago, my old laptop died, a Tecra M2, and I'd obtained a Tecra M3 to replace it with. Loading Solaris was no problem, I've been running build 32 for some time with wifi, inetmenu to configure it. I'd been using a ... roundabout method to work with projectors when showing things to customers, but I finally sat down to set up TwinView recently.
The full xorg.conf can be found here, but the pertinent part under the "Screen" section is:
Option "TwinView" "True"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-70"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "56-85"
Option "UseEdidFreqs" "True"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024, 1280x1024; 1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600, 800x600"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0, CRT-0"
I've not gotten all the resolutions to work, but the 1024x768 res seems to be fine with every projector I've encountered. That's good enough for slide shows, but I'd like to get it set up with 1280x1024 for software demos.
Other notes, this is with the latest nVidia driver, 1.0-8762 as of this writing, and with the BIOS setting for the flat panel to send display to both CRT and DFP.
