I decided to blow out the FC2 installation I inherited on my workstation when I started here and installed CentOS-4.4-i386. Server side stuff I pretty much have down cold, but getting two heads on two seperate video cards doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using the built in Intel 865/810 card as primary, and an ATI Radeon 9200 PCI card as secondary.
Initially, my system bios on this Dell 4600 was set to Auto for which card is primary. That made the ATI card primary. Configuring the 865 card as secondary, and I have the same monitor on both heads, didn't seem to do anything for me.
Then, I set the onboard video as primary, went back into system-config-display and configured the ATI card as secondary, logout/login still nothing changed.
I'm trying to get it to configure as 'spanning desktops', so I just have twice as much real estate, and ideally can drag in between.
Anyone have suggestions? Also, in general, the wm is pretty bland, so suggestions to make it a little more fun would be good too.
