PPro 200. I'm running XFree86 4.0.1 on 4.1-STABLE with two G200s in a Dell 2300 Dual PIII/450 machine hooked to two 21 inch monitors. It works very well in dual headed mode. I've also had it working in Xinerama but I couldn't find any window managers that supported xinerama in any sensible way. I'm currently using Windowmaker in classic dual head mode with no problems. >I've looked through this xinerama lark, but no matter what I do, >it seems that when I start x with xinerama the machine comes to >a grinding and complete standstill. Not even responsive to pings. I've had that exact problem when trying to get my i810 at home working. I think it's related to the agp support. What Matrox cards are you using and are you loading the agp kernel module (or have it compiled into the kernel)? I've given up on it for the moment. Carl.
