All randr-1.2+ drivers are incapable of doing the xinerama style multihead, until someone writes the needed xorg code. If you want a protocol screen per card, then that should be possible, minus possible nouveau bugs. Few people actually have a multi card setup, so a standard config isn't really available. You can try using this howto "http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12"; and expand it to two (protocol) screens in your xorg.conf Maarten. _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
