I posted some queries about getting dual head working with my laptop, which uses the <\/font>Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM\/GMS\/910GML Express Graphics Controlle<\/font>r, aka i915GM.  Under FC5 the i810 X.org driver supported dual head AND TV-out.  But I’m having a problem getting dual head working under F7 with either the i810 driver or the experimental intel driver (see my previous post<\/a>).  <\/p>\n

One of the folks on the Boulder Linux User Group<\/a> mailing list asked if I could post my config files for dual head that worked under FC5, so here there are:<\/p>\n

xorg.conf.lcd-only<\/a>
xorg.conf.lcd-and-lcd<\/a>
xorg.conf.lcd-and-tv<\/a><\/p>\n

In reality, these are all just slight variations on the xorg.conf.lcd-only configuration, with a different ServerLayout defined to get the configuration of interest.  I’ve heavily commented these config files for use with the i810 driver.  I don’nt know why they don’t work with the F7 version of the i810 driver.  At the moment, the best I’m getting from them is segfaults from the X server.<\/p>\n

Right after posting this I went to the MythTV Users mailing lits and searched for i915.  Turned up a bunch of information that might be useful to get this working:<\/p>\n
