I'm not sure of the syntax of setting envvironment variable in ~/.xinitrc. I tried ... export DISPLAY=":0.0: exec /usr/bin/openbox export DISPLAY=":0.1: exec /usr/bin/openbox ... exec DISPLAY=":0.0: /usr/bin/openbox exec DISPLAY=":0.1: /usr/bin/openbox ... setenv DISPLAY=":0.0: exec /usr/bin/openbox setenv DISPLAY=":0.1: exec /usr/bin/openbox ... all with no luck. It may work, but im not sure the syntax for xinitrc. the man (X, xinit, startx) don't seem to give me the correct syntax On Mon, 2 Aug 2004 22:31:41 -0500, Ryan Underwood <nemesis-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Mon, Aug 02, 2004 at 08:54:11PM -0500, Tony VanScoy wrote: > > I've finally gotten my dual card, dual monitor display to work.
