Hey everyone,
I'm using Xinerama to use two monitors. I'm using Debian unstable,
mainly GNOME packages. My X config is cobbled together from a working
single monitor debconf X configuration (I'm using Debian unstable) and a
working dual head Mandrake configuration (in both cases, the video card
is a Matrox G400 I believe).
The main changes I made to the working Mandrake config were to put
Debian's Files and DRI sections back.
The problem I have is that while all the fonts seem to be accessible,
some of them simply don't draw and I get nothing where text should be. I
can usually force a draw by highlight text or clicking on a button or
otherwise forcing widgets to redraw but of course this is making it hell
to use certain applications (OpenOffice, Evolution).
Got any suggestions?
-Mary
PS 4KB X config attached.
