Hi Jason,
just wanted to let you ( and the list) know that I finally managed to
get my two
monitors to play nicely with 64-Studio. Since I didn't feel too
comfortable after 2 or 3
times failing, I just put the project aside a few days to learn a little
more about X
and such stuff. Finally I made a backup of my current installation,
erased it and
installed Kubuntu (the liveCD wouldn't make use of the two screens and
there's no means of loggin'
out and back in to restart X after configuring Xorg.conf, since there's
no pwd provided)
I then copied the xorg.conf file from the installation, erased Kubuntu,
restored my previous backup
image and replaced xorg.conf with the one from Ubuntu. Phew, what an
operation!!!
Btw, it looks quite a bit different from the file you've sent me.
If it can be of use to anybody else, here it is:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
