Does 'X -configure' produce /root/xorg.conf.new? that log is from the -configure run. What I'd like to see is the output from X -config /root/xorg.conf.new if one is generated. But I suspect its not since the X server dies. Otherwise, you're kind of shooting blind, but if you can get xorg to recognise the second "pipe" or whatever they call a potential video output, then it will probably detect the monitor reasonably well. At least enough for you to get a model out of the xorg logs. I don't know if we've covered this, but what are your options for the second video output? is it BIOS controlled? is there a hot key involved? It may be that the video out isn't turned on?? > > Hey Kamaraju. I can't see anything useful in there. I'd suggest > hwinfo, but no telling if it would see the second monitor and report > it.
