No matter what I do I can't seem to get a decent resolution on my 2nd
monitor.
Setup's basic - a NVidia agp (geforce2mx) and a Ati PCI (Mach64)
(locations etc in XF86Config file below).
I'm specifying 1024, 800 and at various colour depths and modelines but
this has no effect and the resolutions remain at 640x480 and lower.
Here's what I get on X startup:
"IceWM: using /home/j/.icewm for private configuration files
IceWM: xinerama: heads=2
IceWM: xinerama: 0 +0+0 1024x768
IceWM: xinerama: 1 +1024+0 640x480
IceWM: xinerama: heads=2
IceWM: xinerama: 0 +0+0 1024x768
IceWM: xinerama: 1 +1024+0 640x480"
Not much to go on, with info from the window manager.
I've also tried using atyfb framebuffer with xfree but that seemed sketchy
as well, with the screen turning green on various colour depths no matter
what I try. I'd really like to get it working without framebuffer anyway.
My only guess left if a confusion of settings or layout in XF86Config
somehow.
A method of obtaining Xinerama debug help would be helpful.
Here's my XF86Config, ignore comments - they're left over from the sample
file I edited. As you can see I've just tried it without modelines:
