Multihead with slackware created!

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Dear friends:

I created multiheads with the slackware today. At the time when I came to
know from my friend Zoli's post that it does not need faketty with xorg7
(kudos to xorg consortium), I came to know that the latest slack
distribution 6.9 also has the same features. In the meantime, Mr. Mikhail
Kshevetskiy's configuration files enlightened me a lot. And thanks to
Tiago Vignatti of c3sl for his offer to help, but I created one on my own
though very much confused with the Sys V init scripts.

However, there are a few things to be solved. When I used differnt drivers
for differnt cards, the second display did not work, even if the drivers
are correct (ati and s3). Therfore I changed both to the ati based cards
and it worked flawlessly.

Second, the display resolution in the second terminal is much lower than
the first one though both of them has the same configurations!?

Third, I could not switch to the Swedish keyboard even after I specified
se as the xkblayout. setxkblayout se in command line gives the following
error>
$ setxkbmap se
Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
Segmentation fault

I am attaching my xorg.conf and gdm.conf files below for those who may be
intersted and also to help diagnosethe three problems that I am facing
right now. Shall be obliged if anyone could throw more light on it. Thanks
in advance!

May you, your family, your team be successful in your missions,
prosperous, healthy, happy, free from suffering and in peace always!
