dual monitor setup w/ XFree86 4
I installed XFree86 4.3.0-2 onto an i686 box w/ 2 video cards.
I wanted to have a dual monitor display, but I didn't want the second monitor to have any input devices (no mouse or keyboard), because its just for displaying stuff.
So I created 2 ServerLayouts in my XF86Config file. Then I started 2 copies of XFree86 with:
XFree86 :0.0 -layout "Layout0" &
XFree86 :1.0 -layout "Layout1" &
I wanted 2 copies of XFree86 running for reliability (if one monitor goes down, the other still keeps working).
My first problem is that whenever I remove the keyboard and mouse input devices from the second monitor, XFree86 won't run.
My second problem is that both monitors won't display at the same time. I can have the first monitor displayed if I press Control+Alt+F7, but the second monitor won't display until I press Control+Alt+F8, which then causes the first monitor to go blank(both monitors won't display at the same time).
How can I fix this so both monitors display at the same time?
