... and following my recent experience start with: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
euse -i xinerama |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
BTW, I do have an xorg file in which among other things I have defined two |
| 32 |
monitors: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Section "Monitor" |
| 35 |
#DisplaySize 360 290 # mm |
| 36 |
Identifier "Monitor0" |
| 37 |
VendorName "NEC" |
| 38 |
ModelName "NEC LCD1860NX" |
| 39 |
HorizSync 31.0 - 82.0 |
| 40 |
VertRefresh 55.0 - 85.0 |
| 41 |
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" |
| 42 |
Option "DPMS" |
| 43 |
EndSection |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Section "Monitor" |
| 46 |
#DisplaySize 510 290 # mm |
| 47 |
Identifier "Monitor1" |
| 48 |
VendorName "DEL" |
| 49 |
ModelName "DELL ST2320L" |
| 50 |
HorizSync 56.0 - 76.0 |
| 51 |
VertRefresh 30.0 - 83.0 |
| 52 |
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" |
| 53 |
Option "RightOf" "Monitor0" |
| 54 |
Option "DPMS" |
| 55 |
EndSection |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
and under Section "Device" I have: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Identifier "Card0" |
| 60 |
Driver "radeon" |
| 61 |
BusID "PCI:1:0:0" |
| 62 |
Option "monitor-VGA-0" "Monitor0" |
| 63 |
Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Monitor1" |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
but these are historical. I have not tried removing them to see what happens. |
