Hi,
I'm new to nvidia (having stopped using ati cards because of the poor state of the Linux drivers) - so sorry if this is a FAQ.
I have a Fedora7 install with a 8800GTS graphics card and 2 Iiyama 1600X1200 displays which are capable of being rotated to portrait (1200x1600)
Q1. I have problems using these displays in landscape mode with "desktop effects" enabled. Normally I get hanging gnome sessions or windows without title bars and other decorations. I don't have these problems if I plug in a lower resolution display (1280x1024).
Is this a known problem?
Q2. I have the same problem in portrait mode. I also see that randr doesn;t seem to work so I added option "Rotate" "CCW" to xorg.conf - but now I get a tearing effect when scrolling through large html pages in firefox (slashdot and http://www.michaellarabel.com are prime examples.
Is this a problem with the nvidia driver or my config?
TIA
Daveh
