3 screens with 2 videocards

[brononi]

Hey,

When i was using Windows, i used 3 screens, and of course, under Pardus i would like to have the same.

The 2 videocards i'm using are:
- Dualhead Video Radeon 9200 (AGP) -> Screen 1 + Screen 2
- GF MX4000 (PCI) -> Screen 3

What's happening?
The pc is booting on screen 3 (the PCI card).
To log in, the pc swaps to Screen 1 and Screen 2. It took a while, but now it's working in dual screen, before it was an exact copy.

But i can't get screen 3 to join into.
Any idea?

This is my xorg.conf:

Have you tried the display manager (in Tasma > System) ?

[brononi]

Yes,

But in there, i can't see the second card. Only the Dualhead card...
If i remove the Dualhead card (on hardware level), the third screen works perfect.
It seems that the 2 cards won't work together.

Since when do an ATI and an NVidia card work together?

How do you mean?
In windows (sorry) this works without any prob. So i can't understand why it should work under linux.
