So I'm using Lenny, trying to get dual monitors set up. I'm not sure on the correct steps, but have done some googlin' and wasn't finding what i was looking for. (could be that i just missed it)
lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300 Pro] (Secondary)
If someone would be kind enough to help me set this up, I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you need the output from any other commands.
Thx,
MedicineMan

Dual Monitor Help.
Re: Dual Monitor Help.
I don't have two monitors myself, but I read that you have to modify the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You have to specify that you are using two video adaptors in that file.
This link may help you.
According to my logic, you have to change BusID to match yours and any other relevant item.
I hope that link helps you.
My google search criteria were: xorg.conf "multiple monitors" +debian -ubuntu
This link may help you.
Code: Select all
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 9200 SE (RV280)"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "SubPixelOrder" "None"
Option "ColorTiling" "False"
Option "MergedFB" "True"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1024x768 1024x768-1024x768"
Option "MergedDPI" "100 100"
Option "CRT2Position" "Below"

The worst infection of all, is a false sense of security!
It is hard to get away from CLI tools.

Re: Dual Monitor Help.
Personally I think it's easier to get dual monitors to work with xrandr.(Howtos here and here). I used to run 19"+15" with a quite basic xorg.conf (just remember to add virtual to the Screen section)
And then I ran this when I started X
Code: Select all
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen"
Device "Card0"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2304 1024
