There are good instructions in this link: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors and the man page for xorg.conf is well written to giude you through. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't typically use the Xorg -configure option (I use vi!), but doesn't it create a temporary xorg.conf file in root's home directory so that you can test it? If it works then I would copy it from /root/xorg.conf (if it is there) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

[gentoo-user] Twin monitor setup (Not strictly Gentoo I know)
Hi all. I've just put a twin monitor setup on my system, I have a problem that so far I've not been able to fix. Once I run Xorg -configure and edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the mouse and monitor resolutions both video card / monitor setups seem to work fine. I then setup the KDE desktops and again everything seems fine. However when I next boot up, the second desktop , on the new video card / monitor, looses its settings and defaults to 400 x 300, with no available options above this. If I then logout of KDE, shutdown the X server and do the Xorg -configure bit again and then restart X everything is ok again until the next time. The first desktop is always ok with no problems. Setup.

I know this isn't strictly Gentoo but the people on this list are clued up kiddies so I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this one. TIA Stewart -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
