I used the standard nv driver with etch. Dual head with one samsung @ 1024x768 and one tv @ 800x600. The samsung monitor has failed and i havent had time to look at it, hence the XF86config-4 file is not available at the moment. The limitation was that i could not get console on the tv. X worked with independent desktops as well as one large desktop. this was a year and half ago. > When I posted, I was try to a xinerama setup using a laptop with > it's onboard Intel graphics chip.
