If the internal video isn't the default framebuffer device (where the initial console comes up on), you'll have to add Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" in its Device Section though. > unlike the r128 driver which wanted a bus id. Actually, the bus ID is needed there because the higher level PCI code of the X server will deactivate the chip otherwise. :) (it can't determine the connection between the PCI and framebuffer devices automatically) > how do I do fbset -x to see the modelines on the second monitor? There's an fbset option to select the framebuffer device, the second monitor is probably /dev/fb1 . Michel -- UNIX is like Sex: If you don't know it, you don't miss it. But if you know it, you'll need 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.
