Description Simon Crute 2005-10-26 22:08:41 UTC 
In NLD, (and I think in suse9.3) SAX2 can configure duel-head capable cards as two independent displays. 

In sl10.0, sax2 only offers cloned and xinerama mode. 
Xinerama mode is not really sitale if your two displays are of differing resolutions. A 2nd, independent display is better

Please consider re-introducing this option for 10.1
Comment 1 Marcus Schaefer 2005-10-27 10:44:18 UTC 
yes the old system using Xinerama can be use while calling sax2
with the following option:

   sax2 -b Xinerama

This is only available in the stable code (10.1)
Comment 2 Matthias Hopf 2005-10-31 12:56:22 UTC 
In current stable 'sax2 -b Xinerama' gives me a

[...]
SPP: calling device [0] profile script: Xinerama
Can't open /var/cache/sax/files/config: No such file or directory at /usr/share/sax/profile/Xinerama.sh line 13

I don't know enough of sax2's inner workings to understand, what's missing here.
Comment 3 Marcus Schaefer 2005-11-07 09:27:08 UTC 
this is fixed in stable but the current code doesn't build because
of the fact that mono doesn't build which is needed for the libsax
mono binding :(
