Issues with advanced configurations such as dual-screens are generally the fault of drivers, not X. For example, I can configure two screens easily using the open-source Intel drivers, but proprietary nVidia drivers do not support the standard.
- Periodic 17y agoX supports multiple displays already. The problem mostly lies in getting those drivers to tell X how to deal with the windows. Over the last few years, setting up multiple monitors with nVidia cards has been as simple as: - Install the nVidia driver. - Run the nVidia config. - Double-click the grayed-out monitor to enable it. - Save settings - Restart X.
