Given that our beloved engineering department ->took this week to giving away old Hercules monitors, and I already had ->such a card, I thought I'd load my box down with some more random ->hardware. I've updated mda (clumsily) to work with kernel 2.1.x ->It's at ftp://dwmw2.robinson.cam.ac.uk/pub/kernel/mda-2.1.tar.gz
A bit browsing rewealed this project:
Linkname: Multi-headed Linux Filename: http://www.calyx.com/~bri/projects/debian/multimon.html
There you can find all patches which appeared so far for support of multiple monitors, and the updated multi-mon patch for debianized kernel 2.0.0
Filename: http://www.calyx.com/~bri/projects/debian/patch-to-kernel-sourc e-2.0.0-0.deb.diff.gz
it applies almost cleanly against regular kernel if you skip all debian stuff, the only one problem is drivers/char/selection.c where are two rejects. If I find some spare time (and nobody do it before me) I'll fix it so that it applies cleanly against 2.0.28. Also, I have an bit more recent release of the multi-mon patch than the one on which debian patch was based on. It add support that one can use alt-<left,right>arrow to change montors, some mouse bug fixes and some other stuff.
I have sutffed some of those stuff at ftp.cfar.umd.edu:/pub/adam if anyone is interested.
