Anyway in SAX2/YaST it says I can a single vid card, and IDs it as an ATI Radeon VE. I dug around and that seems to match to the Radeon 7000. So, that part is right. I go into the expert config (in SAX2) and there is a dropdown for Primary and Secondary display. There is no "parameter" I can set though (from SAX2) to enable Xinerama or MergedFB (lots of other params). I tried editing the xorg.config file directly and adding in the options as described in the man page, and nothing happens when I restart X... that or it dies completely and I have to recover from my backup file.
If I type startx from the command line (after a failed startup), X attempts to launch, and then it dumps back to the command line. Now here's where it really gets fuzzy for me... in the stdout stuff before the error messages, it says "Using /etc/X11/X86Config". Even stranger... when I fire up SAX2 and make some changes and save, it saves to XF86Config... not xorg.config. ??? Huh? This is definitely 9.2 I'm working with... not 9.1. What's up with that? ---------------------------------
Clayton, Try this: rename both your xorg.conf file & your X86Config (don't delete them for now, just rename them so you start fresh, no old config files) ctrl-alt-F1 login as root type: init 3 type: sax2 set things up, see if you are offered dual head setup this time configure, check everything, test, finalize back to terminal prompt hopefully things are working right now, so: init 5 back to your GUI good luck, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!"
