I am using the snapshot from last week on my workstation which has two
monitors and the following card
vga1 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Radeon X1600" rev 0x9ea
I can use both monitors using xrandr with the command
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of DVI-0
and the xorg.conf setting
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080" "1680x1050" "1600x1200" "1280x1024"
"1024x768"
Virtual 3840 1080
EndSubSection
EndSection
If I use KDE, the xrandr command I invoked does not seem to have an
effect and so I cannot use both monitors. But with X (when I run startx)
I can use both.
If you have any insight into this please let me know.
