Hi,
I want to use only a part of my monitor as X Screen and use nvidia-settings to configure this:
- Select Advanced
- Change ViewPortIn to desired region wxh
- Change ViewPortOut to desired region and position wxh+x+y
- Avoid panning by setting Panning to wxh
- Select Apply
At this point I get the desired X Desktop with size wxh at monitor position +x+y without panning or scaling. Unused space is just black. Fine!
- Now “Save to X Configuration File” basically creates this one interesting line (others are default):
Option “metamodes” “nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {viewportout=2528x1980+1304+0}”
There is no mention of panning or viewportin in the xorg.conf file.
If I restart X now with , I still get the same X Desktop, but now with panning of the full monitor area. I dont want that panning.
I experimented a lot with metamode settings using explicit monitor sizes, panning areas, viewportin and PanningTrackingArea, but no luck so far. I cannot reproduce the result of “Apply” in nvidia-settings with xorg.conf.
My question is: Which settings in xorg.conf do I have to use to get the same status I get after pressing Apply as described above?
I use driver 440.36 on a 1650 Super - but I dont think this is really specific to driver or card.
Thanks for any input!
