I have been trying for several days to get dual monitors to work with
the dell GX620 desktop, running Red Hat GNU/Linux. I have two dell flat
screen monitors 1907FPc, one connnected the the main board and the
second to the DVI.
Now I am trying like heck to get the DVI to work so I can do spanning
desktops. I currently have the configuration where the display screen
GUI recognizes that I have dual monitors but when I go to select
Spanning Desktops it will NOT click OK. Both monitors are working but it
shows only 1 main desktop (tends to defeat the purpose of having two
monitors).
I have been reviewing all of the different info out on the web. Making
all types of changes to get this config right but I am still missing
something.
Any suggestions..., beside buying a second video card?
Thanks and Happy Holidays,
Victoria
