Xinerama config
Hallo all!
I'm fighting with my xinerama configuration for many days now, and don't feel
to be able to solve it alone.
I'm using sarge (the new rc3) on an Dell Optiplex GX280.
I have an onboard Intel card with 82915G chipset. It works with an unofficial
xserver-xfree86. Info from a posting on this list from Wed, 9 Feb 2005.
(Thanks!)
As second card I'm using a dualheaded Matrox Millenium G200 SD (vga+dvi)
XFreeversion: XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1
I was not able to use the two heads from the Matrox card (would be happy if I
could, it's a particular dvi connector for an IBM Monitor I cannot use else),
but the configuration each a monitor per card brings me one correctly working
monitor and one with a striped output. Sorry cannot describe it better in
english.
krandtray shows me 2 monitors with the same resolution. Thats not right as you
can see from the config file.
The config I append is the best - but not usable - I could build.
Is it necessary that the two monitors use the same depth?
Has anybody expirience with this cards or with the driver and could help me to
get it working?
Thank you very much
Angela
