I recently asked a question about a dual monitor setup for my GeForce FX 5200. It has 3 outputs, VGA, DVI and s-video. I'm not getting anything on the DVI output unless I physically unplug the monitor from the VGA output and plug into the DVI. I had the setup as suggested, included below, but I kept getting the X server repeating too quickly. Obviously not a cool config. All I had to do to fix it was remove the screen1 entry from the layout. The message in the Xorg.0.log is as follows: Fatal server error: Requested Entity already in use! Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. I'm guessing it's not seeing this card the way I had hoped. I also did a scanpci to see if multiple cards were detected, which I didn't expect. I was right. I also tried rebooting the machine with both monitors plugged in. In this case, I get both monitors showing the same screen until X starts, at which point, the monitor plugged into the DVI port goes wiggy. Chances are I'm going to have to hijack the card from my other system. I've checked the bios, and the onboard video doesn't seem to be manually disabled, so it looks like it's auto disabled. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Here's the relevant sections of my xorg.conf; if anyone sees something I might have botched, I'd certainly appreciate a pointer.
