Gene I am currently looking at a pair of 1920 by 1200 monitors fully populated by the Linux box, so at least some of the information you are getting has to be incorrect ;) You will need to load the the Linux ATI driver if you want the monitor resolution to be set automatically, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English ( Is that available via packag manager in a EMC setup? Not got a network connection on that machine here ) it is also possible as Przemek has said to manually set up the resolution in xorg.conf, and that is something I've been familiar with for many years, but recent distributions of linux ARE making that a bit more difficult. In my own case, the computers are the other side of a KVM switch arrangement, and - for example - currently the script I run in SUSE11.3 to give me the dual screen will not run in SUSE11.4 because that is defaulting to 1024x768 rather than ignoring the fact there is no feedback from the monitor :( 'nomodeset' is apparently no longer your friend ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ uberSVN's rich system and user administration capabilities and model configuration take the hassle out of deploying and managing Subversion and the tools developers use with it.
