4.5 Configuring the X Server for Multi-Screen
Mode
4.5.1 Configurations for Multiscreen Mode
The xorg.conf (configuration) file determines whether the X
server starts up in single-screen or multi-screen mode. Desired
configurations must first be set. Once the configuration file is
correctly set up, the procedure for starting the X server (whether in
single-screen or multi-screen mode) will be the same.
To start the X server in multi-screen mode, changes need to be
made to the ServerLayout, Device and Screen sections.
Each Raptor card has its own Device and Screen section.
These sections in the xorg.conf file are added once during
driver installation and will need to be added manually for each
additional 4000 Series card installed.
For multiscreen mode, the ServerLayout section in xorg.conf
needs to be modified.
In the Screen section of the xorg.conf file, the fields that need
to be changed are: Identifier and Device. The
Identifier option for Screen1 (head1) is Raptor4000-1. The
Device option is labeled, “Rapafp1”. This will differentiate this
head from another in the ServerLayout section.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Raptor4000-0"
Screen 1 "Raptor4000-1" LeftOf “Raptor4000-0”
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
In the example above, the Xserver will start on both heads of the
4000 card, Screen0 (head0) and Screen1 (head1).
