Note:If you can't be bothered reading all this, just post me your latest Xfre86config, and I will look at it for hints.
I am trying to get my matrox dual -head card working with a Samsung Syncmaster 191T FPD and a Philips 105S 19 inch CRT monitor.
I have got quite close, but my main problems stem from the fact that the head allocation from the card is not clear, as it apparently reconfigures the head allocation depending on what you connect to it.
Anyway, I have a number of questions:-
1Do I need Xinerama to spread my desktop across 2 monitors ?
2Do I need DPI working to get my LCD monitor working ? If so, are Xinerama and DPI mutually exclusive?
3. I have the following plan to discover good settings for my monitors:-
1. Plug in monior one only, autoconfigure from redhat GUI and save XFree86 config.
2. Remove Monitor 1 and plug in monitor 2, then rerun redhat GUI to configure second monitor.
3. Plug in both monitors, cut n paste each monitor configs from individual files, and add the bits necessary for dual head to my xfree86config.
does this sound like a good plan for a no-brainer like myself ?
