Nvidia xorg.conf

[DANHO]

Below is my Kwrite copy of xorg.conf

 Can i modify this sheet to blaze the graphics in Pardus. I was wondering if i can set both cards to one screen?I've got 2 nvidia7300evga's. "Section Device" at bottom shows VideoCard 0 and 1. Card 0 for screen 0 and Card 1 for screen 1. They both have different pci bus id #'s.  Can i  direct both Card's to a single screen#?for more perf.? I think screen 0 is default.

 PS.Whenever i install or reinstall nvidia packages, i always change/edit "none" to "nvidia" in section device for videocard 1

     at;  Driver          "nvidia"


    Any pointers (points of advice) for better graghz?

Hey,

I assume that these cards are on an SLI mainboard or something like that since I couldn't find any (old) pci versions of these cards. According to some googling I did it should be possible to enable SLI on Linux as well, because it's supported since 2005. To do that read the following manual page:

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/chapter-25.html

Since that probably explains it a lot better then I can (haven't got any experience with nvidia cards, nor there linux drivers).

Hope this works for you,

Regards,

Ben

 Hey thanks for the link. i will read on that. Yes, my motherboard is a intermediate level performance board. asus 570 sli deluxe. I am currently viewing a more to fair desktop right now with Pardus,very vibrantly, but the only thing missing here to assure myself that Pardus is kicking in both graphic cards is the SLI settings in "nvidia-settings".
