> With Xinerama or 2 X servers? I got Dual Head working on my Radeon 8500 last night. It worked as two separate screens (i.e. :0.0 and :0.1) and (better) with Xinerama. I used the stock XFree86 4.2.0 binaries for ix86 Linux. (kernel 2.4.18 if you care). It's quite wonderful, really. If you're having trouble, I could post my XF86Config and log for you. (The only problem I have is that DVD playback with ogle and the Xv extension results in an all-black rectangle. But I think I encountered a post about this before, either in the xpert or dri-devel archives. I've got to try to find it. The GATOS ati.2 driver doesn't have this problem, but you can't do DRI in dual head mode, and I couldn't determine what options to use to deactivate DRI and still start up. (I could get both montors to display the same thing, which is an interesting way to watch a DVD.) I'm going to try building the latest CVS XFree86 and see if the Xv fix I need is already in there.) - mpp _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
