Did you try configuring one big screen over all monitors and the Xinerama
API to get positioning? I guess XRandR works similiar these days if
available.

Info about X-architecture
Hello, I am new to X-window system. I would like to know is their any document available which will explain about X-architecture. if i want to add any new X-client then what is the way.

RE: Relative positions of screens
Thanks for your response.
Unfortunately, I am unable to do Xinerama given that there is other software
running on the cluster that cannot have Xinerama turned on (easy if that were
the case). XRandR doesn't return the information I require (I'm pretty sure,
would love to be proven wrong).
There are 5 machines each with four monitors. Other installations around the
country are set up exactly the same (separate screens) so for the code to be
portable I kinda need to do it this way.
regards
Mark

Re: can't get dual monitors working
For the old card sis/savage/via/others you have to: 1) X -configure with old X (like 1.4.x) to probe all vga cards 2) X -configure with your X with Option NoInt10 yes enabled only to the old cards like sis/savage/etc Xorg 1.7.x+ has bug with systemcall Int10, an a lot of SiS and VIA old cards need to use Int10. nvidia, radeon, ati, nv and nouveau drivers doesnt need this option and often ignore this option. other solutions: maybe vbetool or posttool (vga arbiter) can help to probe vga devices, but for me they dont work fine.

Dual head on ATI FirePro M5800
I am trying to get dual head on ATI FirePro M5800 working. LVDS works, but VGA-0 is in power save mode no matter what I do. My colleague got the non-free driver working, but I would prefer using the free driver. My research seems to indicate the chipset is called Redwood or r8xx or RV830 or r800 or Evergreen - but I could be wrong. I have been unable to find a guide for this card and the obvious (xrandr --output LVDS --output VGA-0 --left-of LVDS) does not work. Neither does KDE's gui config of display.

[ANNOUNCE] font-util 1.1.2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 These utilities are used when generating and building the packages for the X.Org fonts. This release fixes the bug in the fontutils.m4 autoconf macros that allowed packages generated with these macros to successfully pass configure when required utilities were missing, resulting in build failures that were hard to diagnose, such as -b: command not found. Existing font packages will need to have autoreconf run after installing the new fontutil.m4 to take advantage of this fix - the next release of the font packages will include this fix in the configure scripts distributed in their tarballs.
