Re: Are nVidia closed source drivers still needed for 2 years old chipset?



Does the open source driver have (the equivalent of) TwinView these
days? I need TwinView to make my laptop drive an external
projector/beamer.


I don't think so. But I couldn't get TwinView to work with the nvidia
driver either. I do get to display, on my hdtv, but I can't clone the
laptop monitor. I get a desktop stretching over both displays, half on
the laptop, half on the tv.
