[Newbie]X 4.1 & Dual Head

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm running Linux 2.4.18 (debian sid), and X 4.1.

I'm attempting to setup Xinerama for dual head display, using 2 video
cards:  an AGP Matrox g400 and a PCI ATI Rage 128, monitors connected to
them are a 19" sceptre and a 17" apple studio display, respectively.

X sees both my video cards, and there is nothing in the X log file that
would indicate a problem (that i can see, anyway). 

I read that part of the problem could be solved by using the UseFBDev
Option for the ATI Rage device, so I added it, and when starting X with
+xinerama, my main monitor goes blank, no signal to the 17".  Without
UseFBDev, X starts normally and still nothing appears on the 17" (no
signal, nothing).

Here's my configuration...I can send parts of the X log along too...any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
