External Monitor

[Gary Jarrel]

There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago, and a few xorg.conf
files were posted. I've got the same video card working on dual monitor,
if you can't find the previous thread re this issue, email me direct,
and I'll send you my xorg.conf file. No point in sending it again to the
the list.
