Hi,
I've read the Xinerama HOWTO, I've read a lot of forums and did a lot of searches about Xinerama, but still I cannot make it work for me.
I'm a Compaq 1800T laptop with the ATI Rage Mobility M3 (Rage128) card on board.
I've connected an analog monitor to the external monitor connector.
I've the latest xfree package (but not the r1) and every other package is up to date.

Here is my XF86Config-4 (a piece):

Code:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Compaq"
        ModelName    "TFT"
   ModeLine "1400x1050" 107.85 1400 1450 1500 1999 1050 1058 1070 1150
   ModeLine "1400x1050" 112.38 1400 1432 1554 1744 1050 1053 1056 1083
   ModeLine "1400x1050" 113.95 1400 1432 1552 1752 1050 1053 1056 1084
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   #DisplaySize     320   240   # mm
   Identifier   "Monitor1"
   VendorName   "CPQ"
   ModelName    "COMPAQ V700"
   Option       "DPMS"
#   ModeLine    "1600x1200" 175.5 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250
#   ModeLine    "800x600" 43.68 800 816 928 1072 600 600 606 626
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card0"
   Driver      "ati"
   VendorName  "ATI"
   BoardName   "Rage 128 Mobility LF"
   Option      "AGPMode" "2"
   Option      "UseCCEFor2D" "false"
#   Option      "Display" "BIOS"
   BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
   Screen      0
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card1"
   Driver      "ati"
   VendorName  "ATI"
   BoardName   "Rage 128 Mobility LF"
   Option      "AGPMode" "2"
   Option      "UseCCEFor2D" "false"
#   Option      "Display" "BIOS"
   BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
   Screen      1
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier   "Screen1"
        Device       "Card1"
        Monitor      "Monitor1"
   DefaultDepth   24

   Subsection "Display"
           Depth       16
                Modes       "1400x1050"
   EndSubsection

   Subsection "Display"
           Depth       24
                Modes       "1400x1050"
   EndSubsection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier   "Screen0"
   Device      "Card0"
   Monitor      "Monitor0"
   DefaultDepth   24

   Subsection   "Display"
      Depth   24
      Modes   "1600x1200" "800x600"
   EndsubSection
EndSection


With this XF86Config XFree86 exits with an error saying:
Requested entity already in use!

If I'll comment out one of the BusID entries it works but only on the panel of the laptop
and not on the analog monitor, unless I specify Option "CRT" in the Device section.

What the hell he needs?

Thanks a lot for the help :)))

Anidel.
