Hello, Although I've been using X and linux for several years now I thought starting on the newbie list would be a good place since I have some rudimentary questions about supporting 2 monitors simultaneously under XFree86-4.2.0-8. I have seen a windows box set up once to run with 2 video cards and the result was a single desktop twice as wide as the normal desktop. If one runs 2 displays at the same time under X should I expect the same thing, or do I have the option of setting the two displays to separate, normally sized virtual desktops? My other question pertains to video cards. At the moment I have a ATI Radeon VE on my workstation/server but in the relatively near future I'm going to set this box up to be a dedicated server and build myself a new workstation out of one of the cool Shuttle Flex ATX kits. Can I (or should I) pull the radeon card and move it into the new workstation that I want to put the dual monitors on or should I leave it be and get a different card? The Radeon I have has a DVI output and an analog output. (I know both work from different monitors over the years and I have the cabling to run 2 analog monitors). Anyone's opinions or expertise is welcome. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
