[NTLUG:Discuss] Dual-headed G400

[George E. Lass]

I can't help you with the G400 card, but I *have* set up 
a Dual-headed system (X only) with 2 video cards and 2 monitors.

1) In "startx" I made the following modification:

.
.
.
if [ -f $userserverrc ]; then
    serverargs=$userserverrc
else if [ -f $sysserverrc ]; then
    serverargs=$sysserverrc
fi
fi

################################################################################
# MUTLI HEAD DISPLAY WITH SINGLE DESKTOP
serverargs=+xinerama
################################################################################

whoseargs="client"
while [ "x$1" != "x" ]; do
.
.
.



2) In XF86Config you will need something like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"

        # First Screen at location 0,0
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

        # Second Screen to the right of first screen
        Screen      1  "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"

        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Trident TGUI 9440"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen1"
        Device     "Trident TGUI 9440-1"
        Monitor    "Monitor1"
        DefaultDepth 16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Trident TGUI 9440"
        Driver      "trident"
        VendorName  "Trident"
        BoardName   "TGUI 9440"
        BusID       "PCI:0:13:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Trident TGUI 9440-1"
        Driver      "trident"
        VendorName  "Trident"
        BoardName   "TGUI 9440"
        BusID       "PCI:0:15:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor1"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Monitor Model"
EndSection


Hope this helps,

George
