Your config did not work for me. Also, note that the driver that comes
with FC4 did not support xinerama as well. At least for me it did not
work.
So, as usually I ended up getting the proprietary drivers from matrox as
I do with NVIDIA. In order to support xinerama or 3-D acceleration, I
am always forced to taint the kernel with proprietary drivers!!
Can anyone tell me what graphic card I can use that support multi-heads
and/or 3-D acceleration? Of course, I mean native support in FC4.
Well, anyway for those who have the G450 and X version 6.8.2.
-- I downloaded mgadriver-4.1 from the Matrox website
-- I simply copied "mga_drv.o" and mga_hal_drv.o"
to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
-- Changed my xorg.conf file to support dual monitors
-- Rebooted (or restart X)
-- Everything looks beautiful now for xinerama on FC4
-- My xorg.conf is below:
