hello !
is there anybody ever seen, or used 2 monitors on linux
as:
1 SVGA (S3trio64) for X
1 hercules(MDA) for console
...I found some kernelpatches at sunsite,(or tsx-11?) but these patches
against 0.99.13 and so on ;-))) (museum rules)
..
so I changed a line at /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/vga.c
if (ORIG_VIDEO_MODE == 7) /* Is this a monochrome display? */
to:
if(1) /* YES I know I have a monochrome display ;-) */
it works half... I can use MDA for console and SVGA for X, with a little
cosmetic problem:
MDA scrolling broken (if I change to VT1 and back to VT2 example it looks
again good, and after again 1 linefeed and it's broken again)
second problem: if I run X ... it will run on SVGA as hell...
but when I want to type to the MDA console, and I switch (CTRL-ALT-F2 for
example, the SVGA monitor switchs back to text mode ;-(
and when I change back to X (CTRL-ALT-F7) then the MDA console switch to
tty7 ;-) and so on.........
is there anyone who can help me?
thanks,
redax
