I can't find anyone who has got dual monitors working with the "intel" driver so, if you were trying that, I'd suggest moving back to "i810"
There are a number of little traps so, if you still haven't got it working, send me your xorg.conf and I'll check it. Off list is probably best. On 28/05/07, Roy Britten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Firstly, thanks all for the advice on the hardware acceleration front. I couldn't get it working, but that has been superseded by another issue...

So, having just obtained a second monitor and card to drive it I'd like my desktop spread over the two screens. I'm not well-skilled in the intricacies of X. Things I've tried: The howto at Ubuntu Forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2545824 didn't work for me. The most useful-sounding suggestion for getting dual monitors working is at http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/randr-2007-02-06-17-50 but no joy there either. The appropriate tip in the Ubuntu Hacks book was not useful.
I've helped a number of people on the Ubuntu list get theirs going. It's nice to find something I can help the community with! Kerry.
