Dual Monitor, Radeon 9700 Pro, Mandrake 9.1


My specs: Mandrake 9.1, KDE, ATI Radeon 9700 AGP video card.

So how do I get dual monitors set up?


And yes, I have briefly read the documentation for xinerama and I don't have two video cards.

Yes, I have searched the forum and there are hundreds of posts about dual monitors. And that is exactly the problem, too many posts, not enough clear explanations from topic headers/responses so it is a big mess. So I'd like to start from scratch where I am clear to you and you guys are clear to me.

Thanks!

FYI - I found out how to get dual monitors.

Just run fglrxconfig and there are options to choose dual monitors.

I had to play around with it a bit, but I got it working.
