i've already been working on my xorg.conf for hours, i just want a big desktop that spans two monitors. Once i've had it working that i had clone monitors, but only the mouse could move over 2 screens. Now i have only clone monitors

Can someone plz help me ?

xorg.conf

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension

I don't mean to come off rude here, but people are getting lazy... they don't bother to search the forums (google too) for what they're asking/looking for. This has been covered in the forums on several different occassions, please... use the search feature!

Hi,

I'm in the same situation as you. I red many threads, tried many configs but I get cloned monitors or X directly shutting down.

What I see directly in your config: The "BusID" is commented out. A lot of people reported, that this doesn't work for Xinerama. "lspci" will tell you your BusID.

Since you asked for a working config: This Thread has a config which works for some people. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=105588&highlight=radeon+7500+xinerama
Of cource you need to change your graphic-specs.

At the end you see my post, calling for help ;-)

Maybe it works for you, if not: Does the server directly shut down like mine?

Others with ideas about that?

Ok,

I solved it with this hint: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=99104&highlight=radeon+7500+dual+head strange thing!

Maybe it'll help u 2.
