I'm having some trouble getting my old mach64 pci card to function with a gateway vivitron 15 monitor as a secondary display in XFree86. Primary card is a Geforce256.
The "ati" driver is loaded successfully, but the monitor immediately goes into powersave mode. However, I am able to move my pointer into the secondary workspace (not that it's displayed, I just know because it doesn't stop at the right edge of my main monitor).
Also, when I attempt to enable xinerama, I recieve the message "Panoramix error: Incompatible screens. No common visuals". Is this likely to be purely due to the different colour depths and resolutions, or is it possible that xinerama simply cannot handle this combination of cards/drivers?
I'm running XFree86-4.1.0-3 on kernel 2.4.18.
