Re: [XFree86] ATI IGP 340M - Dual head on a lapltop
The mode on your second head is being disabled: (EE) RADEON(1): Virtual height (0) is too small for the hardware (min 128) it looks like there are no modes available for it to display. I think the problem stems from this: Section Monitor Identifier External HorizSync 50-90 VertRefresh 60 Option dpms EndSection You need to put a range in for your VertRefresh. try VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 if the vertical refresh is too low all your valid modes on the second head will be thrown out, since it would seem the monitor can't support them. For mergedfb I have patches and binaries available for both 4.3.0 and CVS. Alex -- Thanks Alex. If you've a spare moment would you mind looking at my current XF86Config file? http://www.656.org/ati/XF86Config The XFree86.0.log is at http://www.656.org/ati/XFree86.0.log Just please let me know if something jumps out as being horribly wrong (I've stripped comments, so it is pretty easy to read through). I submitted a second email concerning my problem yesterday with more accurate information. Mainly that the chipset is an IGP 320M, not 340M as I had previously believed. When defining two screens, two monitors, and two devices and I am getting a clone of the primary head on the secondary head. Xinerama says that it is enabled in the log, but you couldn't tell by looking at the display. From the bugzilla record below I gather I'll need the cvs to use the patch. Is this correct? Thanks for your help.

[XFree86] ATI IGP 340M - Dual head on a lapltop
the radeon driver supports dualhead. you can either do it with two screen entries and xinerama or with my mergedfb patch (http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276). the IGP chipsets do not support HW 3D yet. Make sure your screen entries do not contain the videoram option as that will prevent dualhead from working. check the radeon and XF86Config man pages for more info. Alex Hello, I've an hp ze4430 laptop. It contains an ATI Radeon Mobility U1 (IGP 340M w/ 64MB shared memory). I am currently using the radeon driver that I believe was shipped with XFree 4.3. This graphics card has the ability to extend the desktop to 2048x78 using an external monitor. I have been unable to find any documentation about such a feature being supported (or not) by the radeon driver. I have attempted to obtain such a result by trying everything I know to do in my XF86Config file. I can get a 2048x768 desktop using the Xinerama option, but the extra desktop space does not display on the external monitor, rather in empty space next to the laptop's flat panel. I've also been successful cloning the display on both monitors using different methods (MonitorLayout and CloneDisplay). Does anyone know if the current radeon driver supports this feature or of any documentation that may contain information that will help me achieve this setup?

Please double check the sync ranges specified for your external CRT: HorizSync 50-90 VertRefresh 60 For 60 Hz refresh, HorizSync is too high for the three modes listed in you config file (they need 48.4, 37.9 and 31.5 respectively).

Regards, Hui Thanks for the advise. However, when I set the HorizSync to something lower, the CRT fails to initialize. It is a unknown monitor. It has no brand identifier on it anywhere that I can see. With the HorizSync set as it is the CRT will always come on. The problem I am fighting is that the CRT is displaying a clone of the primary display. According to everything that I have read it should be able to use xinerama to make one big desktop. But I have been unable to actually get anything but a cloned display (it does not help to only see what I am doing twice ;)). I have read that dri and xinerama do not work well with each other. This is perfectly fine with me since dri is not supported for my chipset anyway. Right now I am at a total loss as to what approach I should take. It seems as if there should be something I have to do to tell X to display a seperate screen on the external monitor (I thought that Xinerama would do this) instead of cloning the primary display. The only thing that I am sure of right now is that the Windows (ms) could display on the external monitor in a xinerama style, but I would rather have only one screen with gnu/linux+xfree+gnome than proper dual support from ms. I like my gnu tools better. :) Regards, Brandon ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
