I hav followed this guide with my Nvidia 9500 GT and works great!
My card has however 3 connectors: dvi, vga and hdmi

I would like to run the screen on the hdmi but its currently running on dvi. How do I set up the monitors (nvidia-settings perhaps?) so that xbmc uses the right monitor?

Here is my xorg.conf:

If I open nvidia-settings via startx it does say the monitor under GPU 0 as DFP-1 - (SANYO Z2000). However it does not give any information about the monitor (1080p beamer in this case) except for Acquire EDID.

How can I make my Sanyo Z2000 run primary?

Thanks,

Dennis


Ps: If I choose the "X Server Display Configuration" it says:
Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:
Dynamic TwinView is disabled on screen 0.
Maybe it has todo with this?
