[opensuse] Dual monitors on boot
Using 11.0 x86 64 with kde 4.1 and dual hp w2007h monitors. I want to be able to have both monitors show something on boot. As it is now, only the 1 monitor shows the opensuse boot screen. Is there anyway to have both monitors show this screen on boot (or perhaps a different screen on boot)? These monitors are not in "clone" mode they are in "extended" mode. Is there anyway to do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think that's a problem with the graphics adapter. I have 3 machines with dual monitors. Some of them show the boot on both monitors, some not. Until you have X started, which is about the last thing that happens, the xorg.conf doesn't apply. It is writing, probably in some vga mode, to the adapter. What graphics adapter are you using? -- Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
