Hello there,

I am a Linux Newbie and am trying to get to grips with setting up a dual
headed display on my REdHat 7.1 box running XFree86 4.0.3.

I have set up my machine with two cards, a voodoo3 agp and a sis 6352( I
think).  I have hacked about in the XF86Config file and set up the cards
correctly, i.e. I got them to work individually.  I then Set up a Layout
refering to the HOWTO pages from the Linux documentation project.

When i start the machine it boots up on the sis card and monitor until the
Xserver is started and then the display is swithched to the Voodoo3 card.

Do I need to start the Xserver from the prompt?  I have tried doing that by
typing :

startx -- +xinerama

Is this the correct thing to be typing?  Should I be typing another command?
Or do I have a probelm with my set up?

This is my first venture into doing something more complicated than just
installing linux from cd so if I am asking the wrong kind of questions or I
need to give more information then please let me know.  :)

many thanks in advance for your help

Matt Price
