I added it like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "mydevice"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "VGA-1" "mymonitor"
EndSection
But I get this from Xorg.0.log:
Option "VGA-1" is not used
I also tried VGA-I-1 to match your example with the same result. I
have this in Xorg.0.log so I think VGA-1 is correct:
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 has no monitor section
...
(II) NOUVEAU(0): Output VGA-1 connected
Is my syntax off somehow?
