[KLUG Members] Dual Monitors in SuSe 9.2 Pro

[Doc Rea]

Todd:

Thanks for the snippets of config files. While it didn't solve my problem yet, 
it got me much closer...

Using portions of the config I was able to get the second monitor to "power 
on" very quickly but show nothing, so some output is reaching there to take 
it out of power save mode.

However, the <Option "Xinerama" "on"> is really the piece that got me looking. 
After much googling, I'm finding that Xinerama may not be fully supported in 
SuSe 9.2 yet. I don't even have the option in YAST to enable it. I manually 
added it in the XF86Config file, restarted the X server, and still no luck.

Anyone on the list get dual screens to work with a dual-head video card with a 
specific flavor of Linux?

Thanks.
