RE: [expert] dual displays - How do I get xinerama working?

2001-03-27 Thread Klar Brian D Contr MSG SICN

I use xinerama, and have still to get full screen
display in Mandrake 8.0 b2. I can get full screen
video in RH 7.1b though. I upgraded to the latest
xawtv with still no sucess in Mandrake. Maybe I 
missed something in Mandrake configuration though.

I have been able to get two separate displays working in KDE2, xfce, 
GNOME/Elightenment and blackbox, but I can't get xinerama enabled for a single wide 
screen.

I'm using 8.0beta2, a Voodoo3 AGP card and a Matrox PCI card.

I am using Option "xinerama" "on" in /etc/XF86Config-4 to enable xinerama (that worked 
when I had 7.2 installed with the same hardware).

Any suggestions?
