Description Humberto Sachs 2013-09-14 20:50:39 UTC

The Platform is OpenSUSE 13.1 milestone 4; 
System Settings => Display and Monitor => tab Display Configuration shows my 
two monitors, but only DV1-1-2 can be configured. Pressing the "Identify Output" will not identify the DV1-1-1 monitor, rendering it non-operational. It is similar to bug ID 320474 except that I have no problem configuring one monitor. My Nvidia Quadro FX570 card worked fine with the previous SUSE release with these same two monitors without installing the proprietary FX570 driver. However, I was testing GNOME. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OpenSUSE 13.1 milestone 4 in a PC with two monitors;
2. go to System Settings => Display and Monitor => tab Display Configuration
3. Configure one monitor and discover that you cannot configure, or use the second monitor.
Actual Results:  
1. Install OpenSUSE 13.1 milestone 4 in a PC with two monitors;
2. go to System Settings => Display and Monitor => tab Display Configuration
3. Configure one monitor and discover that you cannot configure, or use the second monitor.

Expected Results:  
User should be able to configure an use the second monitor (clone or not.)

Same machine, same monitors were easily configured with SUSE 12.3 and GENOME.

Work around: 
Download <nvdock> (Tray icon for launching NVIDIA) - Of course, YaST2 already downloaded the NVIDIA driver.  Installation of this application does not show in the desk top nor in the menus. 
Reboot the computer and now the dual monitors configuration works.

OK, now that I am testing SUSE 13.1 Factory, the Configure Desktop, Display and Monitor, Display Configuration works fine. Hence, we should close this bug.
