Dual monitor with i845 and ATI 9200
 

I have this configuration:
on board i845 card and ati9200 card.

When I run X -scanpci and ati9200 is not pluged in I get this:

Is it possible to run them both in dual config using xinerama ?

Re: Dual monitor with i845 and ATI 9200
 

First off get the video drivers for both controllers so the Unknown part is known. In fact load all of the drivers...


But before that happens, what O/S are you using and what kernel is it on?


And then the xinerama answer is best answered by reading the howto's thoroughly.

EDIT: For the ATI driver I recommend DRI and not the Radeon driver that comes from ATI.com... http://dri.freedesktop.org

And then you will need to go to Intel.com for the other drivers if aren't in whatever O/S you are running.
