attaached twice by mistake

Comment 8 Adam Jackson 2008-02-12 20:10:32 UTC
Does X crash immediately upon configuring the second monitor, or only after
restarting X?  If the latter, can you attach the X log from the crash? (Reboot
into runlevel 3 and copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log away to somewhere safe, then
telinit 5.)

Comment 9 Matěj Cepl 2008-04-10 10:03:50 UTC
