I haven't upgraded to 302.17 yet, but it seems that this versions drops TwinView in favor of Xinerama. So you can probably just use xrandr, or graphical tools such as arandr.

Disper is working again for me. (see previous problem) Don't need it anymore, though. Switched to nouveau.

# 'disper -e -d auto' could not switch to metamode 52: resolution not found Seems like nvidia-302.17 broke disper. Are there any workarounds?

Different problem here. Disper doesn't detect ANY external monitors. Also, it somehow thinks that the optimal resolution for my LVDS display is 320x175 while still recognizing the native 1440x900. On the other hand, nvidia-settings recognizes external displays without a hitch. Well, apart from being the user-unfriendly mess that it is (exactly why I want to use disper) Running: disper 0.3.0 (from this package) kernel 3.2.1-1 nvidia driver 290.10 Graphics card: nVidia geForce 8600m gt As with other people here, everything worked fine with Ubuntu (although I can't remember which versions of driver, kernel and disper I used back then. It's been a while). I already tried adding the Monitor section, which changed nothing.

Actually by completely erasing the "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" options in the file I get just the working resolutions! Not sure why I had added that options in the first place... So finally the (only) monitor section in the file is: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Option "Enable" "True" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" Option "DPMS" EndSection And both nvidia-settings and disper work like a charm!

Just in case someone runs into the same problem, I managed to get it working by changing the Monitor section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf to: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Option "Enable" "True" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" #HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 HorizSync 31-60 #VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 VertRefresh 50-100 Option "DPMS" EndSection I just changed the HorizSync and VertRefresh as mentioned in this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90927 Now the problem is the exact opposite, disper shows a lot of resolutions available, many of which aren't actually supported by the monitor and don't work at all. This means I can't just extend the monitor with "disper -e" but I have to specify the right resolution (disper -r "1280x800,1024x768" -e) by myself. It's non-ideal but it gets the job done perfectly so I just made a convenient script to manage it and now it works flawlessly. Hope the advice helps someone!

It worked perfectly a couple of days ago... so I guess the most recent that Ubuntu has available, I have already unistalled Ubuntu so unfortunately I can't give you the numbers.

Schnouki commented on 2011-07-26 11:28 (UTC)

Weird... Do you what versions of the kernel, the nvidia driver and the Xorg server you were using on Ubuntu when it worked?

<deleted-account> commented on 2011-07-26 11:19 (UTC)

Trying to force it that way gets the screen completely black.
