Hi, Here's my xorg. If I manually try to change the resolution the small Dell E175FP turns off, and can only be reactivated by going into nvidia-settings and setting either 640x480 or 320xsomething low. Wonderinf it's a dpi issue, as my other screen's a bit big.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
