Spanned Display ?!

m_m · 02-21-2003, 01:02 PM

I have Mandrake 9 on a Toshiba Laptop. I can connect a monitor to the Svga port, but I can not get a spanned desktop display.
I tried to declare both monitors and screens and add Option Xinerama on, but it still doesnt work. It gives me an error message saying that there are 2 screens assigned to the same device. :-(

Please help me !!!!! All the documentation out there is about 2 videocards + 2 screens. All I have is 1 videocard with a Svga port +2 screens.

Thanks,

I suppose you need to find driver that support 2 monitors. I'm not sure if it's available in your case...

Both monitors work at the same time, but they display the same desktop. I think the driver supports 2 monitors.

Is there any other person that had a similar problem?

Which card is it? As far as I know NVidia driver supports 2 monitors.

The card is a ATI Rage LT Pro 4Mb

I can't find info about multiple monitors beeing supported by the Linux driver. So it looks it's not supported... But I may be wrong.
