Turns out for our configuration with the GX260/280’s, the “auto” was set in the BIOS as to which video adapter was detected for use; this through off xorg’s auto-detect. Enabling “on-board” (which was an i810), X correctly displayed xinerama with the i810 and mga driver.

Subject: TS 2.2.2h +mga +dual monitor

 

Good afternoon. A colleague and myself are trying to configure two monitors on thinstation with little luck. We have tried several links and reading the howto’s with little progress. Our environment is as follows:

 

Thinstation 2.2.2h

Booting via PXE

Client specs:

                Dell GX260/280

                1Gig ram

                Matrox G4XX and G5xx cards

                Tg3 ethernet adapter

Tftp server is rhel5.

 

We can get a client booted just fine. Everything is actually working quite well minus two monitors. When we do get both monitors fired up, they display the same “screen”. We have tried the embedded mga driver as well as this trick:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.thinstation.devel/4980

To no avail.

We have tried X configs in the build. We have tried x configs via thinstation.conf.network.

If anyone has dual monitor support working, could you reply with the steps you took?

Thinstation conf’s to follow if anyone is interested.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
