Hello, I have a problem with a 2 graphics card configuration. I have an
internal intel (iGPU i7 4xxx) and a very old Trident TGUI 9xxx PCI card. If I
use the card as primary kde starts great, but i need configure in Multi-Monitor
mode. I can't use Xinerama because then the XOrg server don't start. With the
current configuration i have the main display OK and the second display
(connected to the Trident) in black with the cursor as X (i can move the
cursor to that display). So how enable this two monitors with two cards??
xrandr don't detect my second screen, this are the outuputs:
