I now have two displays, but the right display only runs at 1024x768 with the left runs at 1280x1024. If I try swapping the "Position" lines between monitor 0 and 1, I go back to the old mirror effect, with the right screen still at 1024x768. I get the following messages on my vty: WB: Reading 128K from /dev/mem address 0xc0000 info: [drm] Initialized card for AGP DMA drm0: [ITHREAD] [config/hal] couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null)) SESSION_MANAGER=local/pak.es.net:/tmp/.ICE-unix/98465 The only warning in the log is: (WW) OS did not count PCI devices, guessing wildly (WW) MGA(0): Option "Position" is not used I don't like the look of the latter error. Any ideas? I did edit the "Monitor" sections and tried both with explicit sync rates and commenting them out and using DCC. Made no difference. I must admit that I am baffled. Also, is xinerama no longer usable with the 7.3 and the G450? Or so you just prefer randr? (I can see that randr has advantages.) -- R.
