Dual Head

Wed May 28 00:24:10 PDT 2008

Dear Alan,

As per the man page of i810, the dual head is possible with the driver 
xf86-video-i810-X11R7.2-1.6.5.tar.bz2 running on X11R7.1 - X Server
xorg-server-X11R7.1-1.1.0.tar.bz2.

Also as per the link below 

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-January/021465.html

Question 1: Does dual head is possible with the xorg.conf given below
xorg.conf ?
Question 2: Does dual head means clone type or expand type from below
xorg.conf ?

Thanks Alan.

We are installing FEDORA 9 which comes with X11R7.3 as is told to me.

We will try the same with respect to Dual Head.

The upgrade from X11R7.1 to X11R7.3 again as told me is very complex.

Why do we have the upgrade so complex ?

Best Regards

Deepak Bhatia

I'm not sure what exact problem you have, but it's probably best if you
upgrade to X11R7.3 with the latest intel driver which is v2.x

Alan.
