could there be a problem with my XFree86config file. should i use the nvidia twinview option instead of multiheadlayout? i attached my xfree config file just in case
also, when running a fullscreen Gem window, is their a optimal resolution?
depends on your hardware (vga-beam, tv-beam)if you use "dimen" to set the dimension, fullscreen will try to set this resolution first and falls back to the current resolution of your display if it doesn't succeed:e.g. [dimen 640 480, fullscreen 1, create( sets the resolution of the display to 640x480 (even if the XF86Config says 1024x768) and creates the window at this resolutione.g. [dimen 500 500, fullscreen 1, create( will most likely fail to set the display resolution to 500x500 and thus the windows will have a resolution of 1024x768
