Running dual monitors, performance problems
Ive been trying to get dual monitors to work in X now for a couple days. Actually it does "work", but pretty poorly. The window manager locks up often for a few seconds, and then many times the screen other than the one I am working on will pop up little "remnants" of buttons, text, etc. randomly placed. Heres the details:
Primary card: Voodoo3 PCI
Secondary card: Voodoo3 AGP
XFree86 v. 4.3.0
I have tried this with xinerama extensions both on and off. The modelines for my monitors have both been commented out because I cant get the resolutions right when I use them. Anyways, I know I hate it when people post their entire XF86Config file, but I'm gonna do it anyways.
