Dual screen?

borbjo · 01-14-2003, 10:34 AM

I've just purchased a Dell Precision laptop computer and would like to use both the screen on the laptop and an additional screen with Redhat 8.0

Anyone know how to do this? I can't see any settings under System Tools -> Display that lets me do it.

Well first off you need to tell us what kind of video card the laptop has. If it's a NVIDIA get their drivers from their site, read the docs and setup TwinView. If you need a refernce XF86Config for TwinView e-mail me and i'll send you mine that works great.
If you have a ATI, i heard they also released a LINUX driver, so check their site.
Also search the forums here, there is a lot of info about dual head setups

Hi, and thanks for the reply!

I have NVIDIA - RH identified it as NVIDIA Quadro 4 (generic), which I think is correct.

If you could send me the referenced via mail that'd be great! My email is bjorn@_REMOVE_THIS_xait.no
