Dual LCD Help!
 
I been trying this for weeks now and finally I get xinerama to work and span my desktop but I find that it crahes the system... It can not be up for not even minute so I look in to the loogs and it looks like I need to use "mergedfb" instead of xinerama...

How can I use mergedfb to span my desktop?
Any examples out there?
And no the ATI driver does not support my video card.

I have a IBM T30 and here is my xorg.conf (I had to make a new one and thats what I just posted)
Thank You in advance!

#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#        Option        "XkbLayout"        "de"
# or:
#        Option        "XkbLayout"        "de"
#        Option        "XkbVariant"        "nodeadkeys"

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

Few sites to check.

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/MergedFB
http://www.gatago.com/linux/debian/laptop/14607159.html

Check these for possible examples. Check under IBm and same or close to models. Many show lots of configurations on thier own laptops.
