[64studio-devel] Dual Monitors and How to set NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 to 1440x900

[Malte Steiner]

I got the best results for my laptop and GeForce Go6200 with the NVidia 
drivers from the Nvidia site instead from the repos. They need to build 
the Kernel module so you need the kernel headers and build environment, 
worked for me for the 2.6.17 but not for the 2.6.19 which is gone anyway 
due to more complications (?).
You need to stop GDM / Xserver, call the Nvidia installer .sh from 
commandprompt as root, it searches for the module from Nvidia site, says 
that it cant be found and than build one on its own.
The installation part is the complicate one, after that I got Dual 
Monitor and 3D acc., which can be easy set with the Nvidia Settings 
dialog. Cant speak for the 1440x900 resolution but have here the 
1280x800 + 1280x1024. If they only open source their drivers... :)

Cheers,

Malte
