nvidia xorg.conf upgrade

Posted in config, howto, nvidia, ubuntu, xorg by Drew Perttula at 2012-12-25T23:38:25.278930-08:00

My xorg.conf broke when I upgraded to ubuntu 12.10 because of the upgrade of nvidia-current from 295.40-0ubuntu1.1 to 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1. I'm running 2 graphics cards and 3 monitors, rotated, as one big display.

Here is the new xorg.conf file, showing the 'metamodes' syntax and the DPI override I needed to get the right size fonts:

xorg.conf

The interesting lines are these for the screens:

Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select @1050x1680 +0+0 {Rotation=right}, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select @1050x1680 +1050+0 {Rotation=right}"

Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select @1050x1680 +0+0 {Rotation=right}"

and these for the monitors, to correct the DPI:

DisplaySize 720 540

Option "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
