Is someone working on dual-head support for the ati driver? I have a laptop with an ATI 3D Rage LT Pro and its annoying that I can use two desktops (with the internal and an external monitor) in Windows but not in Linux... -----Original Message----- From: Rose, Brian [mailto:Brian.Rose@icn.siemens.com] Sent: Mon 22-Jul-02 18:46 To: 'newbie@XFree86.Org' Cc: Subject: RE: dual screen Last time I checked the ATI driver did not support dual-headed operation. -----Original Message----- From: Fredrik Wänglund [mailto:Fredrik.Wanglund@datavis.se] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 5:06 AM To: newbie@XFree86.Org Subject: RE: dual screen OK, but how do I do that onan ATI-card.... -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Valencia [mailto:jorgev@cae.com] Sent: Wed 03-Jul-02 23:01 To: 'Emanuel Haupt '; 'newbie@XFree86.Org ' Cc: Subject: RE: dual screen Go here: http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/drivers/files/lnx_200.cfm 1. download the g400 drivers & the powerdesk utility 2. read the release notes 3. install the drivers 4. restart the X server 5. install powerdesk 6. run mgapdesk 7. choose the dual-head multi-display option 8. adjust your displays (refresh rate, resolutions, ...) 9. save & exit 10. enjoy The dual-head setup works perfectly except that 3D hardware acceleration (DRI) is only supported in single-head mode :( I attached my XF86Config files just in case... Hope it helps. __ Jorge -----Original Message----- From: Emanuel Haupt To: newbie@XFree86.Org Sent: 7/3/02 1:44 PM Subject: dual screen hi, i have a matrox MGA G400 AGP card with two monitor outputs. how can i make xfree86 to switch with the mouse from screen1 to screen2? someone have me the hint to use xf86cfg but that did not really help. i think it would if i had two completely different graphic cards.
