I had a spare video card and monitor lying around, so I thought I would try getting a dual monitor setup going, but its not going very well. I have a Radeon 9200 AGP, and a Trident 96XX. Heres my xorg.conf I made:

When I'm using this config file, X will fail to start. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what Any help would be appreciated

Could you post the error that you get?

[Benny8909]

Error found in line 3 of "ServerLayout":
Screen keyword must be followed by an option number and screen name in quotes and an optional position/layout information

Problem parsing the config file
Error parsing the config file

Fatal error:
No screens found

[dylunio]

I now know which part of the config file is wrong, it is this on:

Screen "Screen1" RightOf" Screen0"

It may be that the configuration is wrong, since I think you would need to use the quotes in the right way (I don't think you have here). Though since I'm no expert on dual heads this is all the guidence I can give. Though you might want to see what happens if you do:

Screen "Screen1" "Screen1" 0 0

as the line (they bothe *should* show the same picture -- if it works you can use it as a base for makeinsg them side by side)

Alright, I got one screen to work...I probably have to set the proper resolution and refresh rate for the other, its a bit old

Heres what I did:

   Screen   0 "screen0" 0 0
   Screen   1 "screen1" 0 0

I haven't been able to get the second monitor to display anything
