cannot enable Pipe B on Intel 852

[Robert Wörle]

Dear Guru`s

I am working on a issue to enable both Pipes on a Intel 852GM board.
I need to reach Xinerama functionality to stretch between 2 LCD`s.

The onboard chip brings out 1 DVI and 1 15Pin VGA connector to the outside.

So on LCD is attached to DVI and one to VGA.

I reproduced such a layout with my laptops intel chip and managed to get
xinerama working quite well .
What i noticed is that my laptop does enable both Pipes A and B.

the Target system doesnt enable PIPE B !!

So the question is :
Will it actually work with connecting one on DVI and one on VGA and
strech X to both ?
Or do i think wrong here and those 2 connections actually represent only
on PIPE and so i will never manage this?

Find below the log parts which i think are interesting.

Also i trie i855crt tool to switch on PIPE B but it has no effects
