Well, I figured something out about my X issue.. I reconfigured my system into a "dual head" configuration using FC5's system-config-display, turned on "dual head" mode, set up "individual desktops", and set the resolution to 1024x768. (maybe I set it to "spanning desktops" -- I dont recall. The config system seems not to have recalled my settings even though the X configuration seems to work right). Now, when I start X with the second monitor connected it all works as I want. HOWEVER, if I start X WITHOUT the second monitor attached, then when I finally attach the second monitor it doesn't act as a second desktop but instead it just clones the first monitor at the first display's resolution (1600x1200), which really isn't what I want. Is there some way to get X/GNOME to initialize the second display even when there isn't a monitor attached when I start X? -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH warlord at MIT.EDU PGP key available -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
