Hey, thank you. I bought a third graphic adapter and now it works fine. Christoph Am Mittwoch, 8. November 2006 22:26 schrieb jorge:

My setup is the opposite of yours with two monitors on proprietary ATI (fglrx) driver and one on open source (nv) nVidia. Here are a few suggestions which may or may not help.

Have you tried fglrx? Maybe it will play nicer with the nVidia driver.

Is there any way to let X manage the two monitors on the nVidia directly? That is to say two "Device" sections for the nVidia. This is how fglrx works. What might be happening is X is getting confused because it has 3 monitors but thinks there are only 2.

Have you tested with one monitor on the nVidia and one on the ATI? What are the results? That might give you some hints as to the problem.

Good luck, it took me several days to get my configuration working.

Hi, everybody.

I've problems with my dual head configuration. I added a second grafics adapter and a third monitor and now my existing dual head configuration yarns. After powering up KDE I will get a behave desktop on the 17" monitor. The dual head config was crashed. I will get a 1280x25?? desktop over both

19"

...

monitors and overlapped something lika a 1024x768 desktop in the left upper corner with the kicker bar.

After comment out the line Screen "RadeonScreen" RightOf "NVidiaScreen" I will get a working dual head config with both 19" monitors.

Does anybody have experiences or could give me a tipp, whats being wrong?

Thanks and best regards, Christoph
