 |
|
Hi, I am trying to setup my X to use dual screen. I have a ATI mobility x1400 graphic card inside my notebook. I followed the guide on the gentoo wiki about dual monitors, but with no luck. I have a docking station for my notebook and when I connect the external screen to this connector X tells my its fails because of preinitdal. When I use the connector on my notebook the external screen just stays black (and also I want my screen to work with the connector on my docking station).
When I read the gentoo wiki they talk about Xinerama, but that project seems to be dead since September 2007. Another possibility is that my external screen is not showing any picture because I am using compiz-fusion. Is this a possibility? And is it possible to use dual screen in combination with compiz-fusion?

Currently I am using the ~amd64 proprietary drivers (version 8.501), for AIGLX support.
Is there a way to get my external screen working with compiz-fusion and using the VGA connector on my docking station instead of the VGA connector on my notebook? |
