[Ubuntu] Weird resolution problem


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm running dual Planar 1711M monitors but can't seem to get them on the same resolution. My Graphics card is an Nvidia

Quadro NVS 285.

Here's a screenshot from my Nvidia-settings tooland my xorg.conf:

# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder63)  Thu Apr 16 19:37:21 PDT 2009

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I'd like them both running at 1280x1024. :)

sudo gtk-dis tab tab tab

it will offer completion. It is installed by default in Ubuntu (in fact, this apps is specific to ubuntu)

System beeps is all i get. problem still persists even after a fresh clean install of 9.04.
