As far as getting the retail version working - I've had the dual-output retail VE working in dualhead forever (well, since before 4.2.0 anyway - I was using a rather late CVS). You just need to specify two device sections for the same card, but one needs (IIRC, my dualhead box is a few thousand miles away just now) 'screen 0' and the other 'screen 1' in the device section. Make sure to specify the BusID, especially if another card resides in the same box (nVidia nForce mobos, Tyan Thunders with onboard Rage Pro video...)
If you switch off Xinerama, HW-accelerated OpenGL should work too. --- Geoffrey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Joe Krahn wrote: > > Geoffrey wrote: > > > >>My assumption is that this patch deals with the > fact the oem card has > >>two digital outputs?
