Hello All, I find my self struggling with my Linux box. I want to get X powering two monitors as it looks significantly cooler. I have an extra single sync monitor, although I'm starting off with a 17" sony that is multisync. I have been through the howto and I have attached my XF86config file. I have almost gone word for word by the howto, but I must have missed something. Supposedly when I type startx -- +xinerama, it should come in dual head mode. I also have attached the output from the above command. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anthony _________________ XF86config file_______________________________________ Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "unix/:7100" # The module search path.
