Just a quick note about this: You will either need a Dual-head card or two cards, and XFree86 4.10 is preferable (Xinerama* support is much better in the later XFree versions). Some computers bios' choke on two video cards, so be aware. Also, get a window manager that understands xinerama, so it can intellegently place windows (ie not straddling across monitors). There is probably a HOWTO on this (check XFree86.org & linuxdoc.org as starting places)
* Xinerama is the name Xfree86 gives it's dual-head support. ------------ Milton Yates Computing Support Officer, CSIRO Health Sciences and Nutrition 3rd year Computer Science, Adelaide University [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----Original Message----- From: Bill Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 26 October 2001 10:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] 2 monitors Martin Ignacio lange wrote: > > Hey, > > Does anybody knows how to put two monitors with linux.
