I'm up against a bit of a wall trying to get my dualhead working the way I want.
What I have... A nVidia 7600 with a DVI and VGA out. A 20" TFT at 1680x1050 plugged into the DVI port A 32" LCD TV at 1024x768 plugged into the VGA port.
I used SAX to enable Dualhead, and set up the second monitor (the LCD TV). Restarted X and ... well I have the right resolution on the 1680x1050 TFT, but on the TV I have a 1024x768 window of my larger desktop. This basically makes the TV almost impossible to use... as well, it messes up the output of a few apps that try to use full screen (like MPlayer).
What I really want is to have the LCD run a full screen desktop at it's native resolution of 1024x768, and keep the TFT at it's resolution of 1680x1050.
I do not want Xinerama or one big desktop... I want to effectively have two independant screens so I can play a movie or game full screen on the LCD and still have my desktop accessable on the TFT.
What you want to do is to set it up with two separate X displays (0.0 and 0.1). Then you can tell something to display on 0.1, as most X programs will take a display option. Unfortunately, I don't really know how to set it up like that, although I've played plenty of dual monitor setups. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.
