Re: X Can't "see" my docked monitor - xorg or nvidia?

Doug,
Did you ever get this working? I have a simular problem and the
workaround I found is to use the "nvidia-driver-96xx" port instead of
the regular "nvidia-driver" port. I can not remember the exact model
of the Dell FP display that I have ( it is at work) but it is the same
resolution (1600x1200).

If my info will help I'll be glad to gather any needed details tomorrow at work.

Let me know if you find a solution and I will try it here too.
