Now xinerma is busted (Was: Xorg Memory Leak)
Pardon me for a second. Shit, shit shit!
Ok, Now after a fresh dist-upgrade and a reboot only one of my
monitors is running.
This really sucks. For one thing when I upgraded to Xorg it decided
to make my "main" monitor (the screen that comes up in text mode
before running the xserver) the "secondary" monitor when Xorg is
running. For the life of me, I couldn't get the config to do it the
other way, so I swapped my monitor cables on my G550 card.
But, now with the second monitor not starting with xinerama, without
xinerama running Xorg using the secondary port on the card for the
main monitor (which isn't working) and I get a window manager-less
screen on the working monitor.
In other words, I have to use xinerama, and poke around in the dark
(literally) with my mouse to find windows that open on what xorg thinks
is my main window.
Enough with the ranting.
What can I use to test my second monitor port on the G550 card to see
if it's just xorg now enabling the second port, or if the card if
busted?
Is there a good place to get xorg support?
Thanks,
Here's my xorg.conf, if anyone is curious.
