Hello,
Right now I'm just having trouble getting dual monitors to work, my
final objective is to have three monitors to work.
I've been editing my XF86Config-4 file numerous times, and not quite sure
what to edit anymore.
Here is my setup.
Have 3 PCI cards, all ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 7000 cards. The monitors
are all identical. Using Mandrake 10 Offical with xfree86 4.3.0.1
If I use the default XF86Config (attached as XF86Config-4), only one monitor
works. If I try using my latest edited version of XF86Config-4 (attached as
XF86Config-4-9), my x-server freezes up when I load it up.
If anyone can help, I would deeply appreicate it. If you have any questions,
please feel free to ask. Thank you.
Tom
