Dual head config. on Debian 5.0.7, "default" is the only listed output
I'm trying to configure Debian to have a spanning desktop with two monitors. One is VGA, and the other is Display Port. They are both with the video hardware on the motherboard, an Intel 4 Series Chipset Graphics Controller.
This is the output I get when I do a query on xrandr: Code:
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200 When I went to examine my xorg.conf, I found it rather ambiguous looking, like the system didn't understand the hardware or doesn't have the proper driver. Here it is: Code:
Section "InputDevice" |

I can't use xrandr because it does not recognize the two different outputs. I think xorg.conf needs to be edited, but I don't know what to change or add to the file. I read the manual page, but it wasn't particularly helpful in regards to outputs -- what I'm concerned with.

Debian 5.0.7/Lenny doesn't work well with the Series 4-graphics. I would recommend to upgrade to Squeeze, and you should be fine.

That solved my problem. A query in xrandr now prints this:
Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3360 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192 |
