Hi y'all!

I do have a bit of a problem! (

I want to switch from Windows to Suse Linux 9.3 Professional. I've downloaded
the 5 CD-set from Novell and MD5 checked it. No problems, whatsoever. For test
purposes I've installed it next to Windows. Again, no problems. I get to choose
Suse 9.3, Windows and Suse 9.3 (Failsafe).

I have two Samsun SyncMaster 913N lcd screens. Samsung informed me that there
are no drivers for these monitors, yet. So, I've installed them as follows:
1280x1024 @ 60hz (16 bit).

This works fine, but there's only ONE monitor (monitor[0] on device[0]) that is
working correctly. Monitor[1] on device[1] is *NOT* working!! Although, my
server layout section states that "Screen[1] Rightof Screen[0]".

I think it's a waste not to use the second monitor, don't you think? What am I
doing wrong here? Can someone help me out, please? Even if I install everything
with Sax2, I only get *ONE* desktop on my left screen (Screen[0]).

Also, I would like to know if there's a Dutch (Suse) Linux user group. You can
send me an email: twibier_AT_tiscali.nl (change "_AT_" into "@").

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Did you include the option "Xinerama" in section "ServerFlags"?
Can you post the whole of your XF86Config-4 file?

In my case (matrox G550) the original driver "mga_drv.o" failed to use the
digital output of the card. I had to download the driver from the matrox
site. unzip the tar file, replace /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o
with the matrox driver. No need to run a dodgy install script.


My config file "/etc/X11/XFConfig-4" looks like this:
