Geez, and I thought trying to get my two monitors to work was difficult... I eventually got fed up and gave up. Better luck to you though. The thing that bit me in the end was trying to use fullscreen apps. > I'm using the latest ATI drivers and I can get each card to work alone > but when I try to get both at the same time I get an error in the > Xorg. > 0.log that indicates: > > (EE) fglrx(2): Multiview is not supported on the first adapter; this > screen will now shutdown. > (EE) fglrx(2): PreInit failed > > Anyone know what this means??? I haven't a clue, really. The Ubuntu docs are really well maintained, and they document the same software as your CentOS distro. Perhaps these Ubuntu pages will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI Just be wary with Xinerama, since it precludes desktop composition. Which is a pity, since it works better than TwinView, too.
