Hi,
Can someone help me configure my Matrox G400 dual-head for Mandrake 8.0?
I've already successfully configured it for Windows98, so that I know the
hardware and all connections are okay. However, I've not been able to make
it work in Linux.
I've been able to set up each monitor individually in Linux in "single-head"
configuration but not together in dual-head configuration.
I've read the Xinerama HOWTO and read a bunch of articles about setting up
dual-head configs for Matrox G400 and I've set up my XF86Config-4
accordingly. When I startup ($ startx -- +xinerama) only the left monitor
(EIZO) is working, the other monitor doesn't get any signals at all (monitor
displays "No Signal, Check cable"). I tried swapping
connections/configuration, but this time only the E017 monitor works and the
other doesn't get any signals.
Here's my setup:
Athlon 650MHz cpu
Linux Mandrake 8.0
Kernel is 2.4.3-20mdk
Matrox Millennium G400 dual-head
Princeton Graphic Systems EO17 17" monitor
EIZO FlexScan F930 21" monitor
XF86Config-4:
