If it's not in /proc/pci, the server probably doesn't bother about it either, so you shouldn't have to care. > Also, I seem to have not saved it as I had thought, but does anyone have > an example XF86Config file for multiple monitors? You have to add Device and Screen (and maybe Monitor) Sections for the internal video (I suppose it needs the fbdev driver?). And then you have to add a Layout Section, something like this: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Main Layout" Screen "Screen 1" Screen "Screen 2" RightOf "Screen 1" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Good luck, Michel -- Nice little planet you've got there. Shame if anything were to happen to it. ______________________________________________________________________________ Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper) \ CS student and free software enthusiast Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc,i386) user \ member of XFree86, Team *AMIGA*, AUGS ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
