You'll have to Zaphod the head.

Now it seems like the only remaining problem now is that Screen 1, which is the Radeon 9200 card, provides a display spanning both monitors, but it appears to my window manager (awesome) as a single head. xorg.conf and log attached. xrandr again shows everything as I'd expect it, but something is preventing X from creating two heads for the screen: % xrandr -display :0.1 -q #1,10022 Screen 1: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096 DVI-1 connected 1280x1024+...How can I split the screen into two heads? Note that I do not want to return to pure-Zaphod and duplicating Device/Screen sections for each of the two ports of the Radeon 9200 (using Screen 0/1 lines), because I'd just run into the problem described here again: <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-February/049355.html" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-February/049355.html</a> Thanks, -- martin | <a href="http://madduck.net/">http://madduck.net/</a> | <a href="http://two.sentenc.es/">http://two.sentenc.es/</a> the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap. spamtraps: <a href="mailto:madduck.bogus@madduck.net">madduck.bogus@madduck.net</a> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkuC3OEACgkQIgvIgzMMSnVZxACgpHR5I+8AdupvRDmN7ruMYzca JhsAoOLpQuqYX7OhammBica84Imr+9jo =DpvV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </blockquote>
