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). What does xdpyinfo give you? 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.
Which config file is it using? Maybe it is not making an effect because it is using the other config 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.

On my 9.2, which was an update of 9.1, my /etc/X11/xorg.config is a symlink to XF86Config. Maybe that is the problem, Yast and sax2 are using a different config file than you are using. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
