I've read the readmes for the suse ATI driver and the ATI, ATI
driver.
I've googled and hit forums. I read the X config in the manuals.
(SuSe 9.1 pro)
I believe I actually know less than when I started. And that
is not good 'cause I didn't know anything to begin with :(
Current status:
I disconnected my CRT (Synchmaster 955DF)
I'm just using my flatpanel (Synchmaster 172X)
connected to an ATI 9600 XT via the DVI port via
a DVI cable.
The Synchmaster 172x isn't in the monitor database, so
I set it to LCD 1280 x 1024 @ 60 hz. That is the optimum
setting for this LCD anyway.
I haven't installed any video drivers.
Maybe what I want to do just can't be done.
The prop ATI driver says you can have two independent screens
that you can even run two different window managers on.
That is what I want. 2 seperate, distinct desktops.
I don't want 1 large one (xinerama).
The manual calls what I'm looking for "Traditional multihead".
on page 86 of the User's Guide.
Thanks,
Mr_Bill
