You seem lost, so I'll attempt to help though nothing I'm about to say
obviously does...
I just upgraded my main system from fc5 to fc6. I have an nvidia BFG
something or other, with one vga and one dvi port. I was connected to
two monitors, one big CRT via VGA and one small LCD via VGA. One of
the VGAs via an adapter to the DVI port.
So I clearly have an fc6 system, an nvidia card, and an LCD with only a
VGA interface. Thus my reply.
I'm actually in flux, and am giving away the CRT. I had been in fc5
with the nvidia drivers and using RandR for multihead, which I got to
work after some pains. Now, I am just using the LCD-VGA, and haven't
yet installed the nvidia driver (using nv). I did notice, that my CRT
which is still connected displays text garbage. And I think I did have
to manually add a monitor section to my xorg.conf.
Anyway, if there is a specific question or experiment you would like me
to try, let me know.
Good luck...

Hi,
I have already posted this message at the user list and received no

If someone could say if he (or she) is using an LCD via a vga port,
it would be a beginning.

I am having problems connecting an LCD to a nvidia card
using a VGA port in FC6. I only succeeded using
either a DVI port or a DVI-VGA adaptor. With a real CRT
everything works fine.
I tried the VGA port approach in two different computers with two
different
graphics cards
(GeForce 4 and FX-5200), two different Samsung LCDs (510N and 710N),
and got
the same
result. With the nv driver, generally, the screen becomes black after
a
logout
and X does not return. The nvidia driver is even worse. If I manage
to
login,
the system hangs during a video intensive application, and opengl
does not
work.
I have never had any problem using FC5, what makes me believe that
the problem stems from xorg 7.1
Any suggestion will be really appreciated.
Thanks,
/Paulo Roma.
