I am soon to install FC6. I have an AGP Geforce2 in my box right now pushing my main monitor. I have an lcd which seems to max out at 1024x768. I also have a PCI VGA lieing around. Is getting dual monitor support as simple as popping in the second card before installing FC6? I do not need accelerated graphics on the second card (doubt it can anyways) but do use the binary blobs for my nvidia card. I have never really done this before. So suggestions from others who have would be much appreiciated.
Assuming that you don't have a 'legacy' GeForce2 (see the driver README for thte list), you can run: nvidia-xconfig -a --separate-x-screens --xinerama and you'll be done. Note that there is an Xorg bug where some apps (gnome-terminal amongst them) will crash immediately if Composite is enabled with Xinerama. The workaround is to disable Composite (in FC6). -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
