Hi David, Hm. I am not using two GPUs. Just one Radeon HD 6870 with four outputs, of which three are used. My other E-Mail in reply to Elv1313 contains my xorg.conf and an xrandr output. Maybe there is something borked there, but I didn't have such problems before. Regards Andre -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
