Post #1 of 6 (2744 views) Permalink nvidia-settings over ssh sees my local GPU? Hi, BACKGROUND ONLY: I've got a futures trading partner who is attempting to give up Windows if he can. I've helped him install Gentoo on his http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/233167 new machine. The box is up and running and so far very productive for him. We're struggling a bit with getting his three monitor setup working like it did in Windows on his old machine. He has an EVGA NVidia-based GeForce 8400GS along with the onboard Intel Graphics stuff. Our goal is to drive 2 monitors with the NVidia card and 1 with the Intel VGA. My question is about running nvidia-settings. I'm finding that if I shell into his machine open display using ssh -X -Y -C IP-address and run nvidia-settings I get it displayed here, as it should be. The problem is it is seeing my GTX 465 and not his 8400GS. Anyone know how can I get nvidia-settings to look at his hardware and do nothing but paint the GUI here at my end?

The man page mentions that nvidia-settings queries the X server, which is running locally. It looks like this setting may force it to use another. -- Neil Bothwick Of all the people I've met you're certainly one of them Attachments: signature.asc (0.19 KB) yoyo at gl Jun23,2011,10:39AM Post #3 of 6 (2703 views) Permalink Re: nvidia-settings over ssh sees my local GPU?
