... and following my recent experience start with:
euse -i xinerama
BTW, I do have an xorg file in which among other things I have defined two
monitors:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 360 290 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "NEC"
ModelName "NEC LCD1860NX"
HorizSync 31.0 - 82.0
VertRefresh 55.0 - 85.0
Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 510 290 # mm
Identifier "Monitor1"
VendorName "DEL"
ModelName "DELL ST2320L"
HorizSync 56.0 - 76.0
VertRefresh 30.0 - 83.0
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
Option "RightOf" "Monitor0"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
and under Section "Device" I have:
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "monitor-VGA-0" "Monitor0"
Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Monitor1"
but these are historical. I have not tried removing them to see what happens.
