hi, Iīm new in this forum, but I use Fedora sice 2005.
I recently found some problems with ATI driver from livna repository (forget about 3d acceleration, and fglrx donīt work with my ati x300).
what I need is to set up the graphic card an 2 different monitor (LG710E 17" and a TATUNG 15" Tm5erda-u02), with 2 different resolutions. The idea is to run CINELERRA TIMELINE in the LG17" with my current resolution (1240x1024)
timeline
and the COMPOSITOR in the little one (tatung 15") after all, I just need 800x600 in this one to preview DV editing (you know the compositing window)
compositingWINDOW
after all, a dv video just uses 720x576 in PAL, so 800x600 for the preview is ok.
but somehow, the SCREEN icon on the kde/SYSTEM menu, has a secondary monitor configuration tab, but after configure everithing as it should be, the xorg.conf creates a mirror or clone, but not in the way I want, so I have to manually touch the Xorg.conf file values, and still canīt get it workin (the first monitor works ok but the secondary is "OUT OF RANGE").
so I ask you for help, Iīm no expert with xorg.conf, Iīm just a poor animator who decided to mode to linux.
I want to say thanks anyway, for your atention.
