It looks like you have a solution to bind a hotkey to a script to select the next display. I'd like to try that, but your link to the script is broken. Can you report the script or update the link?

My only problem is the "direct rendering: no" Tried everything, using the ATI last driver 8.38.6 Have edited X config 100 times... reinstalled drivers,... and the cmd: "aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv" => crashes destroys xorg.conf !!! So no googleearth etc... I managed by accident to have once the rendering =yes but then Beryl crashed and after shutdown, back to rendering=no Any idea? Thanks. Hi, I have the same nc8430, with ATI X1600.

My only problem is the “direct rendering: no”
Tried everything, using the ATI last driver 8.38.6
Have edited X config 100 times…
reinstalled drivers,…

and the cmd: “aticonfig –overlay-type=Xv”
=> crashes destroys xorg.conf !!!

So no googleearth etc…
I managed by accident to have once the rendering =yes but then Beryl crashed and after shutdown, back to rendering=no

Any idea? Thanks.

So what if an ordinary user can't make their external monitor work on Linux? The idea of the 3D desktop that they *could* have run if they knew vi and xor.conf files should keep them loyal. Seeing it in 640x480 should *inspire* them to learn more about Linux internals! Anyway. they are wimps for not knowing how to do that. Newbs!!! Roll on more 3D desktop development!!! Who needs working brakes and engines when you have a new paint job!!! Whinge, whinge, whinge. So what if an ordinary user can’t make their external monitor work on Linux?
