It does not display any graphics modes at all, and rejects them if I try.

(Infact I routinely run it dual head with both TFTs at 1600x1200, one on dvim one on dsub) so its not the case that it can't be done. Iff the Xorg guys have docs, perhaps they can work out how to do it. > > Sure, no harm in asking. But I would rather ask the Xorg people first. If Ok, go ask Xorg. If you don't have any luck, I'll get in touch with Nvidia directly and see if they will help.
