Can't make Matrox G550 dual-head work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




We have a dual-head Matrox 550 on a fresh install of FC1. It's set the monitors up in some fashion (there's an entry for each in XF86Config), and there's an 'Option "Xinerama" "on"' in there [and 'Option "Clone" "off"], but the only thing I can make it do is have one single screen cloned on both monitors.


I've googled around and found a couple of example 'XF86Config's [one with two of screen/device/monitor, one with a single 'merged' screen] and niether seem to make any diff.

  The card worked fine under Win2000 before we wiped that to put on Fedora.


Any pointers or other examples? Here's what the installer put in the XF86Config:
