Hi

I have a matrox G550 running on two screens using Xinerama, this runs okay
when I am loged in to kde or enligthenment, but my grafical logon manager
(gdm), dows not seam to understand that I have xinerama running. It
places the login field in bewteen the two screens, xdm and entrance also
does the same thing if i canges my setings in rc.conf. Can I somehow force
gdm to display all its login information in only one screen ? or can I
make xdm/gdm xinerama aware ?

Regards.

Check /etc/make.conf to make sure xinerama is listed in the USE flag. If
not, add it and re-emerge gdm. I recently did an emerge and noticed it
wasn't using G77 the fortran compiler for GCC even though I originally had
f77 in the USE flag. Don't know how it got out of there but putting it back
worked.
