Hello everyone, I just can't get xinerama to work at all. In the attachment are the log and the config file. But let me explain, where my problem is.
I have an Asus L3D Notebook with an SIS740 graphic chip. I've got a VGA port for an extern monitor. Everything works fine under Windows.
The config file I attached actually started and no problems occurred, though Xinerama is not working. The LCD display and the extern monitor both show the identical screen (with a mouse on both screens) with the resolution of the Screen_LCD (1024x768).
If I start X with either the Screen_LCD or Screen_Samsung, the server starts just fine and the correct resolution of the screen is displayed on both monitors.
To add xinerema, I added the option in the layout and in a section "ServerFlags" (option "xinerama" "true").
I hope someone can help me. I really would like to do more with Linux (I am totally new), but being able to use both monitors will make it a lot easier to progress. Thank you very much!
The SiS driver supports its own flavour of Xinerama called "merged framebuffer mode". This is information about this at ...
