hi Lionel, Yea confused me like hell ... all doc's i read said about XF86Config file nobody said XF86Config-4 Got an old monitor for free lastweek and i spent a week tryin to get my 2 monitors to work together was editing the XF86Config i read around 4-5 diff versions of multimon install docs and faq's ...
Luckily I found that out only when i watched the messages on the console when running X. And with all the poking around and reading i had done i got it up in one go .... And yes im runnin a modified RH 7.1 ...
