Anyone got dual headed Matrox G400 working with X (in dual
head mode)? It seems that XFree86 4.0 doesn't yet support this directly, but
I was hoping to use the linux frame buffer support to do it.

Here's what I've done:

* Install XFree86 4.0 debs,
* Install Linux 2.4.0-test7.

* Insert all the modules for the frame buffer console, and I 
  have /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1 both working. I can run fbi (image
  viewer), fbtv (video4linux viewer) etc.

* Got X running on /dev/fb0 on the primary monitor -- but unless
  I put the BusID line in the Device section, I just get a blank
  picture.

But because of the BusID thing, if I put the same busid for
the second device, it ignores it. So the second display is
never used. (I have a screenlayout section).

Any ideas?


thanks,
