Hello,
This seems like it would be a common problem but I havn't been able to
find a posted solution. I am attempting to set up a multiheaded machine(2
monitors).
I have had success in the sense that I can have the two monitors act as one
using xinerama. However, what I was realy aiming for was to have two
seperate desktops (a matter of having two seperate window managers?).
>From what I've read I should be able to have this work simply by typing
startx. Unfortunatly, this will simply result in the second monitor displaying
a grey background(I can move the mouse pointer onto this background). I think
my error would probably be in the server layout section of the XF86Config-4
file
so I have included parts of it here. I have an agp card which uses the nvidia
gforce2 mx
chipset and a pci card that uses the nvidia riva tnt2 chipset. I have the
nvidia drivers installed
and working. I can provide more information if
needed, but I think this is a simple mistake on my part, not some complex
hardware
issue.
Thanks,
Harout
