Can't see video on secondary monitor

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi guys

I just realized that I can not see any moving video on my secondary monitor that is connected to my laptop. The displays are being cloned. I can however see the video on my laptop. I think it has to do with my xorg.conf file.



Any help would be great

Thanks

Well this is a bit odd as there is only an address for one device, but I assume it defaults for the other devices. At any rate, the Option "VideoOverlay" "on" probably needs to be added to the other device is my guess. Seablade PS As always, make a BACKUP of your working config before doing anything. Not to familiar with ATI configs myself so I may be giving you bad advice and you always want to have something you can fall back on.
