If all works well both are simple. However, as soon as my old FX5200 based card went into to the leagacy drivers category all did not work easily. My current ATI on mobo graphics had problems as well. Unfortunatly the ATI sucked with the VESA driver. It was quite a faf with both of them. Pete -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk

The slackbuilds and iirc nvidia installer both advise editing the xorg.conf file to enable. BTW from earlier post, when my FX5200 was included in the current set of drivers the nvidia installer worked great. With the legacy drivers it did not, and event the slackbuilds were a bit flakey.

Where to put the layout when one uses multiple monitors? I don't know, but I would suspect it would go in...... xorg.conf. As I said, it is no longer *required*, but can be used for specific changes/additions. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
