 |
|
I'm having trouble configuring my video.
I can get two screens to work fine, but not the other two.
Anyone done this before? I've search high and low for example config
files, without much success.
Here's what I found at Redhat.
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/014dec05/features/multihead/
I've scanned my PCI Bus and have the BusID's of the two cards.
I have the NVIDIA driver installed from the NVIDIA website.
Sun Ultra 40 2.4 GHz/dual-core 8GB RAM
I'm running Redhat Enterprise WS 3 update 6.
Two NVIDIA quadro FX 3450 cards
Four Dell screens
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Peter |

There is zero information here. What video cards? How are you attaching
four screens to two video cards? Most video cards have a single output and
two cards = two monitors.

What "other two"?

I'd give Peter a bit more than that.
How about
"Theres so little information here that we cannot reasonably determine
the problem, let alone suggest a cure. Can you describe your setup and
your problem in more detail?"

Many video cards now support both analog and digital outputs. Some even
support multiples of one or the other. One card = two monitors (or more)
in many cases

What "other two"?
|
The other two monitors, presumably.

Run two video cards, each supporting two monitors under XFree86, apparently.

Peter:
Show us
your current XF86Config file
the last X log file
the results of 'lspci -v'
Tell us /exactly/
how you set up your hardware,
what the problem is,
what do you /expect/ to happen,
what /actually/ happened,
what you did to correct the problem, and
what happened when you did it.
And, while you are at it, please read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
which will explain /why/ your original question was unanswerable, and
how you should ask it properly.

Am I being dense here or did he already answer at least part of this?
See below where you quoted it.
