| Hi all: I am trying to get three monitor up and running on my Slack 10 system. I have an AGP ATI 9200SE card with a DVI-VGA adapater running two and that is fine. When I try to add the third card running on a PCI Matrox G200 card using the mga driver, it is a no go. The first problem is that I get an error message that it is attempting to allocate too much memory. I then make the default depth 16 and then I get an error about unable to load the mga_hal but I get a really warped image on the screen. Then I set the g200 card to use the vesa driver and I can run a single head on the g200 as long as I do not include my 9200 card in the layout. As soon as I include the 9200 card in the layout, the best I can get is to have the X desktop on the screen but the window manager does not extend to it. But it does I think since I can move the cursor there and click but I don't see anything other than the default X background. Sometimes, I don't get even that just a blank screen. Any ideas, Nuz |
