My complete xorg.conf file
My configuration consists of a primary Matrox G400 (AGP) connected to a
GoldStar StudioWorks 78i monitor, and a S3ViRGE PCI card connected to a CompaQ
MV500 monitor. I want two independent screens. I sometimes watch TV on the
CompaQ monitor and do not want the screen tied to the desktop the Goldstar is
displaying.
It worked fine under XFree 4.x, but has never worked under Xorg. I have tweaked
many of the options in xorg.conf, but none work. The config I attached has
Xinerama enabled. If I turn Xinerama off, and change nothing else, the system
starts, the green lights on both monitors turn on, then nothing. I have to do a
hard reboot. The system doesn't respond to the keyboard.
Does this still happen with the most recent stable Xorg release? I'm closing this bug because of the lack of activity. Please reopen if the bug exists with a current release of xorg. |

It appears to not work. I have a Matrox G400 AGP and an S3 Inc. ViRGE/DX PCI card in my system, each connected to a CRT monitor. This snippet from XF86Config worked under XFree86, but not under xorg: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Multihead layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "off" Option "Clone" "on" EndSection System just sits there and never displays anything. Using Xinerama works: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Multihead layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "on" Option "Clone" "off" EndSection
