Hi list!
I spent some time trying to configure dualhead setup using RandR extension but without any success.
I have two LCD displays connected to my 'nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)]' card, one to DVI, the other to VGA.
So I would expect xrandr -q to show these outputs, but it doesn't:
xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 400, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
IIRC the only way to get an output named 'default' is to use a driver which supports only xrandr extension older than version 1.2.
I might be wrong, but I'm under impression that making both (VGA & DVI) outputs to appear in 'xrandr -q' output is essential do get dualhead working.
It is not, you just cannot use xrandr, as pre-1.2 versions didn't care about multiple monitors at all.
