Figure 2.13: Configuring the Virtual Resolution
Multihead
If you have installed more than one graphics card in your computer or a
graphics card with multiple outputs, you can connect more than one screen
to your system. If you operate two screens, this is referred to as dualhead.
More than two is referred to as multihead. SaX2 automatically detects mul-
tiple graphics cards in the system and prepares the configuration accord-
ingly. Set the multihead mode and the arrangement of the screens in the
multihead dialog. Three modes are offered: ‘Traditional’ (default), ‘One
screen (Xinerama)’, and ‘Clone mode’.
Traditional Multihead Each monitor represents an individual unit. The
mouse pointer can switch between the screens.
Cloned Multihead In this mode, all monitors display the same contents.
The mouse is only visible on the main screen.
Xinerama Multihead All screens combine to form a single large screen.
Program windows can be positioned freely on all screens or scaled to
a size that fills more than one monitor.
