Noob needing xorg.conf help dual monitors

sixgauge · 05-21-2007, 02:54 PM

I have a dell laptop and trying to hook up 2 external monitors. I tried doing this using the yast program, with no success. Being new to suse and linux really, I don't dare try to do major sugery to my xorg.conf file but maybe some one out there can. Here is my xorg.conf file and thanks in advance

Perhaps this page will help you. Assuming that you are using the same video card to use multiple monitors cards with. Your config will be different if you are using multiple video cards for multiple monitors.

http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/howto...rs+-+xorg.conf

Hope this helps,

P.S. Keep in mind to always make backups of your config files prior to making changes... That way if something gets messed up and X crashes, you can revert to the backup copy of your original.

Thanks for your reply. I have tried altering my file using the page as a reference but with no luck. My Xserver just crashes.

I am not entirely sure as I have not used multiple monitors... You know... poor college student barely able to buy my laptop let alone another monitor
