    It would help if you told us which G5 it is and which graphics card you are using exactly (a screenshot from GraphicsBoards would work). Most likely the answer will be: "you can't do this with your current card and 3.17", though.

    I'm afraid you dual head isn't supported on this card at the moment.

    ok, thanks for your answer.

    A graphic card is supported on MorphOS 3.17 or 3.18 for the moment ?

    I have a X1950 Pro work with the two display too.

    i hope these graphic cards will be supported soon :-)

    it's a Quad with X1950 GT


    Could you show the output of your Open Firmware printenv command?

    I have the same video card. It works with PC.
    MorphOS boots with the original Radeon, but won't boot with X1950 GT.


    Does the X1950 GT requires a special settings?

    The mouse movement between the two monitors has been improved in the recent update so that you do not need to select the screen to switch back and forth. I open several programs by default on the second screen/monitor.

    I emailed you some screenshots, but basically:

    Create a new external screen in main MUI prefs. Point the MUI program to that screen in the program's prefs (foreign public screen).
