[OpenIndiana-discuss] Multiple monitor support

[ken mays]

Rick,

Try this (and this depends if you are using the Xorg ATI driver (radeon driver, make sure it is functioning correctly):

--> xorg.conf


Section "InputDevice" 
Identifier "Generic Keyboard" 
Driver "kbd" 
Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 
Option "XkbModel" "pc104" 
Option "XkbLayout" "us" 
EndSection 

Section "InputDevice" 
Identifier "Configured Mouse" 
Driver "mouse" 
EndSection 

Section "Device" 
Identifier "Configured Video Device" 
EndSection 

Section "Monitor" 
Identifier "DVI-0" 
EndSection 

Section "Monitor" 
Identifier "DVI-1" 
Option "RightOf" "DVI-0" 

Section "Screen" 
Identifier "Default Screen" 
DefaultDepth    24 
SubSection "Display" 
Depth     24 
Virtual   2880 2880 
EndSubSection 
EndSection

Also, see:

We have not upgraded the kernel radeon DRM so it is a hit-or-miss on OI-hipster but you can do this on Solaris/OpenSolaris releases.

Enjoy,
Ken
