Actually I did get picture on the second head, but I was trying to find a means to test the heads independently, as if they were attached to separate cards. CRTScreen seems not to affect anything. > As to your original problem, you seemed to be using the GATOS drivers, > right? Did the stock XFree86 4.2 drivers also crash? Doh. I was using drivers shipped with Mandrake 8.2. After I switched to stock XFree86, I first got the same freeze as with the CVS version. When I disabled DRI, I actually could get both heads to work! Whew. Anyway, there is still something to hope for. First, regardless of XF86Config-4 settings, the DVI output seems to be the primary display. I cannot plug my bigger monitor to it because of abysmally bad analog picture quality of the output, and I couldn't find a way to define the primary display to be the one connected to VGA output. I've tried tweaking the Screen settings in Device section of the config file, as well as different configurations in the Screen and ServerLayout sections, but the primary screen is always the one connected to the DVI output. Maybe related to the problem above, Xv only works with the primary screen (the DVI output connected to the small monitor). This wouldn't bother me if I could switch the larger screen to be the primary one. Furthermore, changing resolutions of the secondary screen with Alt-Ctrl-+/- seems to make X freeze quite often (and in any case, even though I assume it should only affect the focused one, it switches resolutions of both screens). So, is it too far-fetched to expect being able to watch TV with xawtv full-screen on the bigger display, and being able to watch Xv based video on the bigger screen, while still using a Xinerama configuration? Or should I just forget it? Best regards, Matti Airas _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
