I feel that I have arrived at a fortuitous time in that Zaphod is
(apparently) back
I'm a greybeard and I *like* each of my monitors to have it's own X
screen (:0.0, :0.1 and :0.2) for reasons that probably make sense to
nobody but me.
I have a IBM ThinkCentre with Intel 915 graphics on the motherboard and
a Radeon 9000 series dual VGA PCI card. The motherboard video is
driving a 22" HP LCD and the Radeon is driving a pair of HP 17" 4:3 LCDs.
After a side trip into "my window manager sucks" land, and me blaming
the good folks over at GDM for compiz (and more importantly my own)
lossage, I now have all three displays with distinct video in a "usable
but not quite perfect" configuration.
I'm up to two X screens, :0.0 ( the IGP video) and the radeon card
driving a virtual 2560x1024 frame buffer driving the other two monitors.
I saw Alex Deuchar's recent response on the list to Samud and I
immediately tried to duplicate (as close as possible) their results, but
without luck.
Alex writes: "You need to add Screen 0 and Screen 1 to your device
sections"
Is this correct? When I tried to do this, I got a coredump
