Some time back there was a discussion about using Xinerama extensions
under XFree86 on the T30. From what I understood, it is possible to
address the internal display and the external display port (connected to a
monitor or projector) independently.
I have been trying to figure this out, but that wall I keep running into
appears to be made of stronger stuff than my forehead :-(
My actual intention is to be able to plug a projector into teh external
display port and then show slides or other applications, while seeing
something else on my LCD display.
I understand that this is possible if you run two X servers, one pointing
at the local LCD, one at teh external port, but the ATI Radeon 7500 in
this machine seems to have a single PCI ID, so am unsure how to proceed.
So - can someone point me at a resource that tells me whether this can be
done at all, and if so, how?
TIA!
