This is probably an old topic so I apologise if it is a "newbie" question. I have been looking on the net now and trying different approaches but thus far none have worked.

I have 2 GFX cards (ATI x1950PRO and ATI 9200PRO) in the AGP and PCI slots. The AGP has two monitors connected and the PCI has one. I have kinda managed to get the two on the x1950 to work after a fashion but that is using the Display program in Preferences. I have also tried to manually adjust the xorg.conf to no sucess (although I am impressed that it didn't just dump me into a terminal and offered to replace my butchered file with a fresh new generic one).

Having spent a day playing with xorg.conf now with no sucess I am turning to the "guys in the know" who have more experience then I do right now. Hopefully one day I can return all the help I am asking for here!!

Cheers

Still not having any luck here, tried another guide on adjusting the xorg.conf but while I got the second cards (9200) monitor to fire up, as soon as the pointer moves into that screen it gets stuck and I can't move it back out again :(

Seems I will have to go back to Windows for my multi screen useage. Shame as UNR is great on my laptop.
