Glad you got it working! :) Yeah, that stupid HAL module is needed for the second head, I should have mentioned that. Actually there is code around to drive the second head e.g. in the linux framebuffer subsystem and DirectFB, I guess it would only be a matter of someone taking the time to eliminate the necessity of the binary component by reusing code from one or more of those places. BTW, does anyone have DPMS working on the second head of a G400? On my setup, DPMS works fine on the first head, but on the second head never powers off when the server goes into power saving mode -- instead, it displays some random color on the monitor, sometimes bright white, which couldn't possibly use any more power, thereby negating the point of the power saving modes in the first place. ;) Thanks, -- Ryan Underwood, <nemesis at icequake.net>, icq=10317253 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
