Having issues with Nouveau in Ubuntu 10.4. I posted on the forums, but the only help I have gotten had been people telling me to install the Blob (which is a P.O.S. in my opinion), so I have decided to ask the experts. Prior to my HDD failing, I was running Ubuntu 9.10 with Nouveau installed from the Edgers PPA without any issues. When I replaced the HDD, I went ahead and did a clean install of 10.4 and was delighted to find Nouveau as the default driver... yay! The only problem is that I seem to have an issue with dual heads. I have a pretty new computer (as of January) with a 1GB Nvidia card that worked nicely with my previous Nouveau installation, so I know it should work with my setup. I can get the laptop screen running at its native 1600x900 without issue. I can set the external monitor to its native 1920x1200, but the monitor only displays "Out of Range" when I do that. In the Desktop Switcher, it appears as if it recognizes the 2nd monitor and I can move window onto it, but the monitor just does not display an image. The highest resolutions I can set the external monitor to and still get an image are 1440x900 or a strange 1280x1024. Not sure what's wrong here, but I would really like to see my external monitor at its native resolution. <div>
<br></div><div>Thoughts? I know my way around the GUI pretty well, but I am mostly limited to copy and paste in command line. If you give me some command line to input, I can reply with the output. Is there something I should try? Any help would be greatly appreciated. </div>
