hey guys, Thanks, Tried the suggestions about the ServerLayout section, I'd had similar entries in there before, still nothing happening to the other monitor when I launch X, no errors seem to be generated either. Is there something to do to get the secondary graphics card & monitor working generally under Linux first?
Here's my server layout section: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" Screen 0 "Screen 1" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen 2" RightOf "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Thanks, George On Wed, 2 Feb 2005 15:52:02 -0500 (EST), Marshal Newrock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2 Feb 2005, George Bingham wrote: > > > Hey all, > > > > I've just installed 2.4.26.
