  • Adding Second Video Card for 3rd Display

    In my system, I have a HD5870 that has 27in and 22in LCDs connected. There is also a HD4350 card in the system with a 22in LCD attached. According to ATI's driver page, both cards are supported by the Catalyst 9.12 driver. The system recognizes the additional card via $lspci.

    Can anyone help me with adding that second card into my xorg.conf so I can use my third display? I am running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 32-bit.

    System Spec:
    Intel DX58SO and Core i7-980X
    6GB (3x2GB)Corsair XMS DDR3-1600
    Seagate 250GB ES.2 SATA3G
    XFX HD5870 (Primary 27in Display and Secondary 22in)
    XFX HD4350 (22in LCD for third display)

    Thanks,

    Dreadmonkey
