Ubuntu 10.10 and GTX295 Mirror Monitors

Asked By roryplay 0 points N/A Posted on - 10/01/2011

I have little experience with Linux and I'm trying to make some configurations.
I have Ubuntu 10.10, a NVidia GTX 295 graphics card and 2 monitors that I'm trying to get them mirrored.
I installed the restricted drivers but that didn't solve the problem. 

Then I installed the drivers from nvidia but that also didn't solve the problem.
Can anyone help?

Ubuntu 10.10 and GTX295 Mirror Monitors

Hi, you need to install the Nvidia setting manager then you will have a GUI that will help you to mirror your monitors, 

sudo apt-get install nvidia-manager , before trying to install it check if it's not already installed, that can be the case since you said that you have installed the needed drivers,

then go to the command line and enter the nvidia setting with root privileges, 

sudo nvidia-settings

now go to X server display configuration, then put the settings you want, check

save to X configuration file , and you problem should be solved.

hope this helps 

thanks!
