Re: Multiple Displays

[Joost Veldkamp <mazzo ision nl>]

Hi,

I have a matrox dualhead working fine with X4.01 and helix GNOME. If you
start X with "startx -- +xinerama" , then it should display gnome on 2
screens, (i.e. 1600x600) then gnome will be launched on both screens ,    
without the anoying grey screen on the 2nd screen.
