I think I've already tried that, but I did it again anyway and I get this error: Feb 27 09:05:01 [kernel] [fglrx:firegl_umm_init] *ERROR* UMM area already initialized!

I don't think the error above is much to do with getting gdm on the other screen... > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- Tony. ------------------------------------- ICQ: 17046577 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CELL: 021622663 Get your free, safe spam protection at www.spamassassin.org Razor - Join the fight against spam -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
