Not really sure what to >do - any ideas? This might seem far fetched, but what about downloading the ISO of LiveCD for SuSe 9.x and burning it. I'm not sure if the NVidia drivers are setup but perhaps they might be, and if so then you might be able to use the configuration tools in there to hopefully turn on dual display. And from that you might be able to look at the X configuration file and make a few notes. Hmm, did a google search on your error message so check this link out - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/17/2004/09/1/225781 Hope something helps you. :) >Thanks, >Pat > >On 9/17/05, Mario Hoerich wrote: > # Pat Maddox: > > Anyway I've got a Dell 2001fp and a Viewsonic vp201, hooked up to a > > GeForce4 Ti4600. > > You'll need to run the binary nvidia-driver (~ports/x11/nvidia-driver) > for this to work.
