Hi,

I've been trying for quite some days now to get my Dual MilleniumII's to
span my desktop correctly using Xinerama.

Basically I've got 2 MGA Millennium II 4mb PCI cards in my IBM PC Server
330.  The O/S I'm using is RedHat 7.2 (supplied kernel) with XFree86
4.2.0 (from XFree.Org ftp server).  There's also an onboard S3 Trio card
which Linux _insists_ on detecting, even though it's turned off in the
bios.

I've configured my XF86Config-4 file as correctly as I can.  XFree86
detects one card correctly; MGA2164W, the other as a Matrox Mystique. 
Bizarre - the contents of /proc/pci clearly list both cards as
Millenniums.

When I try and run both cards together in Xinerama mode - instead of a
single wide desktop I have the same desktop repeated on each monitor.  I
can't figure out why...  The commented lines in the config refer to some
bits and bobs from my friends Matrox Powerdesk configured file (which I
know is not compatible with the Millennium II).  Both Monitors are
configured correctly and work great - just not as one 'screen'.

I'm sure it's a simple mistake I'm making, but I could do with a point
in the right direction.

I've placed various files for reference at:
http://www.renderzone.free-online.co.uk/xfree/

There's a copy of my Xf86Config-4, Xfree log, dmesg and contents of
proc/pci.

Whether it's useful or not, I'm using an IBM PC Server 330.

Thanks for any help,

Jez
