I have two 1280x1024 identical monitor and nv18 MX 440 older nvidia card. The
card has one VGA-1 and one DVI-I outputs. The operating system is Fedora 13 and
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.8.2-2.fc13.i686
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-7.20100423git13c1043.fc13.i686

_____________________________________________________________
If I enable the VGA-1 at auto resolution, the 2D performance drops so bad that
when I raise a window, I see it gets painted on the screen for a couple of
seconds. browser scrolling is so slow and all gui apps as well. Desktop effects
are disabled.
The commands I use are:
____________________________________________________
$ xrandr --screen 0 --output VGA-1 --auto
$ xrandr --screen 0 --output VGA-1 --left-of DVI-I-1
____________________________________________________
Direct rendering is enabled according to glxinfo
_______________________________________________
$ glxinfo | grep -i render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI nv18 20091015
_______________________________________________
If I clone the monitors, however, performance is not dropped. I also tried
lowering the resolutions of the monitors until performance did not drop when I
reached the 1024x768 resolution for each screen.
So it is probably the buffer size needed to accommodate the two outputs in one
big screen of size.
I know this is an older card, but I also know it can handle two screens because
I have used it with FC12 and under with nVidia drivers with no performance
problems.
