Driver fails to recognize monitor type ...
Hello,
Please help me if you could to resolve the problem with NVIDIA driver.
I have Lenovo T61p. I installed RHAT6 Open Client and then downloaded and installed NVIDIA driver version 270.41.06.
The product is Quadro FX 570. My laptop display type is LVDS. After installation everything works fine but the problem happened when I try to use external monitor. When I configured X Server Display using NVIDIA utility and provided Twin View the second display was disabled. I enabled both displays but when I restarted my system it did not recognize second display. When I run rhel6 display utility it recognizes monitor as 'Uknown'. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf in section "Monitor" I see that ModelName is "Unknown". I renamed xorg.conf file and restarted the system. It failed to start X. Then I placed xorg.conf back and it started fine but does not recognize monitor.
Could someone help me to either reconfigure xorg.conf or etc in order my system could recognize both displays?
Thank in advance.
I'll attach my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
