Hello everyone,
I'm posting this here after trying the freebsd-x11mailing list as it didn't
produce the expected results. Hopefully someone among you will know more
about this than I...
I'm trying to setup KDE to display in full xinerama on my new computer. I
have an nvidia GFX5600 which is capable of displaying on two monitors (I've
got it working with windows Xp) but I can't seems to get it right on
FreeBSD: X only displays on one monitor and just blanks out the other. So I
have a few questions:
--Do I have to compile Xfree86 with some special arguments to enable
xinerama? I installed it from the cd (4.9 stable, world remade about a week
ago). --Does KDE 3.1.4 support xinerama? Do I have to do anything special to
enable it?
--I haven't found all that much information about configuring xinerama. Have
I missed anything?
I'm appending my XFree86config so you guys can tell me if it's something in
there that's incorrect.
Thanks for your help.
Louis
