[Ubuntu] Weird resolution problem

[vincent]

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

#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

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

I'd say this is where it's gone wrong.

Backup xorg.conf, and redo this line like this:

Restart X.

That turned off the primary display and makes the right one primary.

Are you sure you left display can function at 1280x1024?

They're the same model. I had them running 1280x1024 in Windows and before in Ubuntu as well.

It doesn't see them as the same model at all. Do sudo display-config-gtk and force both of them to use default models.

"command not found"

[Elv13]

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)
