Hi all,

Was wondering if someone had any idea why I can't get linux to span 
screens on my laptop. It's probably a simple config error, but here's 
the relevant sections of my xorg:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor0"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "LCD Panel 1024x768"
    HorizSync    31.5 - 48.5
    VertRefresh  40.0 - 70.0
    Option        "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "Monitor1"
    VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
    ModelName    "LCD Panel 1280x1024"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Videocard0"
    Driver      "i810"
    VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
    BoardName   "Intel 852"
    Screen        0
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Videocard1"
    Driver      "i810"
    VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
    BoardName   "Intel 852"
    Screen      1
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen1"
    Device     "Videocard1"
    Monitor    "Monitor1"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
        Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device     "Videocard0"
    Monitor    "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     16
        Modes    "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Xinerama, which I've been told is required, is in and activated, and the 
ServerLayout contains
    Screen         "Screen0" 0 0
    Screen         "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Craig.
