Try this This works on Redhat 7.3 edit inittab to Default into runtime 3(Makes it easier to debug and test while fine tuning) boot into runtime 3 login as root rename /etc/X11/XF86Config-4(keep copy) run XFree86 -configure copy new XF86Config to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 edit /usr/X11R6/bin/startx (the file) added line serverargs="+xinerama" Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startx If mouse does not work get config from old XF86Config-4. I'm not sure how the laptop will work, Are you using 2 video cards or a dual video card? Good luck Sid Bartle -----Original Message----- From: Philipp Offermann To: newbie@XFree86.Org Sent: 30/07/02 18:27 Subject: laptop with two screens Hi folks! I've got a new HP XE3 laptop. I got X working with the LCD and my Nokia 446XS seperately all right. Now what I'd love to do is using both screens with xinerama. The i830 is on PCI:00:02:0 and PCI:00:02:1. So I tried configuring two screens with two devices but both displays kept displaying the same thing (same resultion, same frequency). Does anyone know how to set up X so that I can use both displays in xinerama-mode?
