1 Hi all
2
3 A while ago I set up a twin monitor system using two graphics cards. All worked
4 fine until I carried out an update. During the update I noticed that a lot of
5 X11 files were updated but thought nothing of it. When I restarted, the second
6 monitor refused to work. Running Xorg -configure showed that both cards were
7 detected but only the monitor connected to the AGP card was detected. I finally
8 got it working again after changing the BIOS to treat the PCI card as the
9 primary display instead of the AGP card. I've tried various combinations of AGP
10 and PCI cards but always with the same result. Last week I carried out a
11 complete reinstall ( not to solve this by the way) and it is still the same so I
12 assume that something must have changed but I have no idea what. Anyone got any
13 ideas on this.
