I thought I'd give an update on what got this working, or almost 100%<br>working.<br><br>1) I upgraded to the latest nvidia drivers, version 100.14.11. Don't<br>really think this had much affect on anything though.
<br><br>2) I ran nvidia-xconfig which seemed to correct a couple issues in my<br>xorg.conf. It did NOT completely write a new one. Rebooting from here<br>was almost enough. It was trying to work, but my LCD display complained
<br>about an unsupported mode.<br><br>3) Then I found the following for my Monitor and updated my Monitor<br>section. It now looks like this:<br><br>Section "Monitor"<br> Identifier "Monitor0"<br>
Horizsync 31-80<br> Vertrefresh 60-75<br> Option "DPMS"<br>EndSection<br><br>This reboot looked like it was all going to work, but after everything<br>loaded (gui with scrolling status) it locked up the system before X
<br>started.<br><br>4) I followed the information here:<br><a href="http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=58498" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=58498
</a><br><br>I added this to the kernel parameters:
<br>pci=nommconf<br><br>Now it boots all the way into X and I have a display on both TVOut AND<br>DVI->VGA.<br><br>5) This process now caused the mouse to be locked, although it works<br>through VNC. Modifying the pci= parameter above fixed the problem:
<br>pci=nommconf,routeirq<br><br>James<br></blockquote></div><br>You've certainly worked through a lot of issues to get this working.<br><br>My implementation was really simple, I used the GUI utility that Ubuntu provided and chose Twinview. It did the rest. My only tweak was to switch the default monitor.
<br><br>At this point, it doesn't look like you need a copy of my xorg.conf file. But if you still want me to post it, let me know and I'll do so next time I have access to my home network.<br><br>Tom<br>
