Re: Fedora 9 X dual screen problems

 I use KDE on F9 and ended up configuring it by hand. What does xrandr 
say about your outputs? 

[ppetraki@shark]$ xrandr

My xorg.conf is attached. You should be able to just define the named output 
in the devices section, in your case it would be something like TV_7PIN_DIN. 

You ought to be able to it configure it dynamically. So suppose I have 
a monitor connected and DVI-I_1/analog is my primary. 

#  xrandr --output  V_7PIN_DIN --right-of DVI-I_1/analog 

Hope this helps.
