In the past, the Nvidia driver would, when my laptop was docked, display to the external monitor at the appropriate resolution when I started X. It doesn't do this anymore. I'm not sure exactly when it stopped, but it's been close to two years ago now. Is there some magic option that the nvidia-driver port once set that it doesn't anymore? This has been an annoyance for a long time, but now I actually need this to work. I have an application that I need to run remotely from a Linux box, and it makes Nvidia specific OpenGL/X11 calls. Yes, I know this is stupid, but it's software commissioned by the AFRL and I have to use it for the task in question. It'll only display properly to Linux/FreeBSD running X on an accelerated Nvidia based graphics adapter. I'm currently running: FreeBSD ghast 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #0: Fri Jun 1 12:20:26 EDT 2007 root@ghast:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ghast i386 on a Dell Latitude D820 (and before that, on a D800) with Xorg 7.2 and the NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-1.0-9746.tar.gz port installed: nvidia0: <GeForce Go 7400> mem 0xed000000-0xedffffff,0xd0000000-0xdfffffff,0xee000000-0xeeffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 The native display is a 1920x1200 15.4" LCD, and the dock has a Dell 2001FP (1600x1200) plugged in to the DVI port.
