Two video cards, two monitors - Problem of second monitor in slackware 14.2
by thiagofw from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AD6A)
I have a problem to configure a second monitor on my slackware 14.2.
I currently have two monitors, one on an onboard intel video card and one on an amd off board.
The amd driver seems to load, the main monitor works, however, the second monitor does not display an image. But it is not in standby mode.
the start light is in blue (color) mode.
