| I have installed Gentoo 2004.1 on my G5 Dual 1.8 GHz. However, I have problems getting XFree running. Could someone possibly post his configuration file? Thanks in advance. |

hm ... doesn't work ... should work though ... I have tried YDL and it gives me Depth 15 as default. YDL works although the XF86Config from YDL does not work under Gentoo. Strange. Maybe because of different XFree?Or maybe because of the TFT monitor (X17-1 from Fujitsu Siemens)? |

WHat kind of problems are you having? Is your monitor complaining about "signal out of range" or is it something else? If it's the former, try matching up your sync values to those mentioned in your monitor manual - that usually fixes things, especially with LCD displays which tend to be a bit picky there (probably because the whole "sync" thing is essentially emulated, seeing as LCDs don't have an electron gun scanning up and down)

It's not entirely clear to me. I'll post my log this evening. I have adjusted hsync and vsync according to my monitor's manual, but when I start X nothing really happens. I am thrown back to the console without any error messages (might be in the log tho).
As I have pointed out, X does seem to work under YDL, but the very same XF86Config does not work with my current installation. |

I had the following for a DVI LCD with a nvidia card (sing driver "nv") but it was on a pc (i.e x86). Anyway may help.
| Code: | Section "Device"
BoardName "Unknown"
BusID "1:0:0"
Driver "nv"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Option "dpms"
Option "FlatPanel"
#Option "CrtcNumber" "0"
Option "CrtcNumber" "1"
#Option "NvAGP" "1"
Screen 0
VendorName "Unknown"
EndSection
|
Namely try/add to your XF86config
| Code: | Option "FlatPanel"
#Option "CrtcNumber" "0"
Option "CrtcNumber" "1" |

I've got the 9800 pro working on either monitor output but the screen is corrupted on the second head. xinerama doesn't make any difference nor does adjusting the color depth 
has anyone else have any luck with a dual head config? |

you might need to change the BusID, just run lspci to see what the id of your video card is. |
