Two screens on separate graphic-cards. Possible on linux?
I'd like to use 2 different screens on 2 different graphic-cards (one screen on each). One screen sholud eighter work as an extension of the desktop or have full screen applcations on it. What I try to do is to be able to have a movie runing on one screen while the other can be used for work at the same time.
The cards I use are: GF2MX400 (AGP) and 3dfx blaster banshee (PCI). The program must work on eighter kanotix (debian-based) or mandrake 9.2. |
Certainly possible. Investigate the Xinerama extention to XFree86/Xorg.
Google has a ton of info on the topic. |

the contents of my xorg.conf file Code:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display |
