emmanuel_uk Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 look for clues by doing as root cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | egrep 'EE|WW' glxinfo can tell you things as well But I think you are looking at what is called "cinerama"? have no experience with that. I think there is a menu in mandrake configuration center, and I do not know the capability of the ATI driver Also sometimes laptop hotkeys do not work Can you even switch display? (Fn key + something?) re hotkeys for laptop there is a kde application that needs setup, it is called Kmilo (it could be called something else, look for the laptop submenu in kde configuration) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holr Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi, i am new to mandriva but have been using kubuntu and suse a while. When I have been setting up dual-screen with my ati laptop card, i have been using a tool (invoked from the terminal) called 'aticonfig'. This should be installed along with the fglrx drivers - its ati's official tool for configuring all things fglrx related. invoke it with no arguments, and see the different options you can use. I normally end up doing something like 'aticonfig --dtop=horizontal' - keep in mind if you use the 'aticonfig --dual-head' you will effectively end up with two different X's on each screen, not one big desktop ;-) good luck!
