[NTLUG:Discuss] RedHat 8.0 and Dual Video

[David Simmons]

Most of this discussion has taken place on another LUG...I've copied here in
the hopes that it'll be of use to someone...is this encouraged or
discouraged? (searching for an answer to this List etiquette question)

John,

You're batting 2 for 2 today!!!  Dug into the config file...and added
+xinerama to the two places where it calls/starts X...and it's working just
like my original goal.....'Automagically Works for KDE and Gnome'..and of
course BlueCurve.

Thanks again!
