Hi, I have two monitors and two video cards. One is Matrox G400. The other is an S3/Virge. I have run them as two separate monitors under Psyche and KDE, but haven't figured out how to do this using GNOME. I *have* successfully run them in Xinerama mode under GNOME, but that's not what I want. I want the two monitors to be completely independent. I don't have a need to have a display wrap across my monitor, and I like being able to use my TV card to display TV on monitor 2 whilst I work on monitor 1. Xinerama won't let me do this. Another piece of the puzzle is when I start in GNOME, my left monitor is perfectly fine. The right one is blank; however, I can move my mouse to the second monitor and see a cross hair. I just can't do anything with the second monitor. So, how should I configure the system to do what I want? -- Jim Kaufman mailto:jmk@linuxforbusiness.net Linux Evangelist cell: 612-481-9778 public key 0x6D802619 fax: 952-937-9832
