Try with redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.13-1 and see if that works. You might try to delete the existing XF86Config file and see if r-c-xfree86 creates a correct dual-head file from scratch. Updated to redhat-config-xfree86-0.9.12-1. Still no luck :-( I removed XF86Config, and re-ran redhat-config-xfree86. Changed Resolution to 1600x1200, Color Depth to Millions of Colors, Hardware tab was all correct, went to Dual head tab. Checked "Use dual head", picked "Hitachi CM751" as the monitor type. (Interestingly, my exact monitor model, the Hitachi CM715 isn't in the list. The 751 is a nearly identical older model. How do I get the CM715 added to the list?). Changed Resolution to 1600x1200, Color Depth to Millions of Colors and Desktop layout to Spanning Desktops. Clicked OK. The generated file looked better than before, it has "Videocard1" instead of "Videocard0", but it still doesn't work :-( This time, the problem was this: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard1" Driver "mga" VendorName "Videocard Vendor" BoardName "Matrox Millennium G450" BusID "PCI:1:5:0" EndSection I needed to add: Screen 1 in there to get it to work. Just an additional note. I had the same problem if I removed the XF86Config, then generated a single-head configuration, and then tried to switch to a dual-head config. Just an additional note: x-c-x does not add into Section Device / Identifier "Videocard0" the entries: BusID "PCI:1:0:0" (in case of a Matrox G550 DVI Dual Head) Screen 0 Both are not strictly required, but would contribute to a clear config file. Perhaps you can add to the Monitor Database: Vendor NEC Modell: MultiSync LCD 1700NX HorizSync 31.5 - 80.0 (according to NEC manual) VertRefresh 56.0-75.0 The 15 and 18 zoll model are included, but this one is missing. I believe the dual head code has been fixed with system-config-display-1.0.10-1 in Rawhide. Thanks for your report. |
