XFree84 4.x, Two supported displays, and kdm

[SUOrangeman]

Has anyone gotten kdm to work with multiple displays? I currently have two displays working in X, but only after I log in via the console and then run 'startx'. Trying to just go to runlevel 5 at boot (for graphical login) does not work.

I've gotten gdm and xdm to work before, but I opted only for KDE on this Mandrake install (somewhere between 7.2, 7.3 Cooker, and 8.0 beta).

Any clues? Basically, I need to know where to put the "+xinerama" flag wherever kdm calls XFree86 (well, I hope it's that simple).

Take a look at www.linux-mandrake.com/en/doc/72/en/user.html/install-x.html. (http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/doc/72/en/user.html/install-x.html.) That should give you some idea of how to get it working.

Hi,

You need to put it in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

change the last line to this:
0: local /usr/X11R6/bin/X +xinerama

I don't know if this works for kdm, I don't use it.

First of all, the triple-posted link above fails. Here is the correct link (http://63.209.80.231/en/doc/72/en/user.html/install-x.html).

Secondly, I have gotten xdm and gdm to work fine in dual-display mode. I don't use either of those anymore. Due to space and tastes, I want to stick with KDE, and thus kdm. I just gotta figure out how to manipulate it. :)
