Prevent screen cloning in CentOS 5

JosipMiller · 05-10-2009, 01:01 AM

Hello,

I got here box with Radeon RX300 (GeCube) an two monitors attached. One is LCD HP l1820 (on DVI) and other one is Philips CRT monitor (on analog VGA). Problem is that screen is always cloned, e.g. I am watching same desktop on tho monitors). Is there a solution to make an extended screen or just prevent desktop to be cloned to another monitor ?

Thanks,

Josip

you need to set up your xorg.conf , to use two screens .there should be a radeon tool (like there is for nvidia)
