Hey guys, I have gentoo running on an older p3 machine with pci graphics. I just picked up a radeon 9250 (with 128mb!) from a friend, and want to get that sucker running. I have the i810 integrated chip running with dri (glx is unsuppported) already. My goal is to run one monitor with some recording software, while another screen has whatever distraction I choose. (I'm doing a little recording for a lecture series -- just 2 mics and ardour. Thing is, it's very boring, so I need a game of neverball to keep happy
Since this is an older radeon, it has the ability to work with the open-source drivers in the kernel. Should I use these or the fglrx drivers?
I want to run two screens - there's a few ways to do this considering I'll have a few options:
- One server on the i810 (recording) and another on the radeon
- One server spread across both heads of the radeon (xinerama)
What would you all reccomend? Thanx in advance for the help!
-Bill
