Starting the X Server in Multi-Screen
Mode
The XF86Config file determines whether the X server starts up
in single-screen mode or multi-screen mode. Once the
XF86Config file is set up, the procedure for starting the X
server (whether in single-screen or multi-screen mode) will be
the same.
To start the X server on multiple instances of the same type of
card in multi-screen mode, changes need to be made to the
ServerLayout, Device and Screen sections. The following
example shows how to start X on two Raptor 1100T cards.
The ServerLayout section needs to be modified as shown.
