Re: [XFree86] ATI Radeon VE (7000) config

2003-11-12 Thread Alon Weinstein 
Compile X from CVS and it'll work perfectly. The Radeon driver in 4.3.0 
has poor support to dual-display Radeon 7000 cards.

Anyone managed to make the dual display feature work reliably on any ATI 
card ? I need help with my XF86Config file.
 
I have 2 screens linked to a Radeon VE (7000) card in the AGP slot, I am 
running Redhat 9 with XFree86-4.3.
 
The best I have managed is to get X running on both screens at once in 
clone mode (both screen showing the same thing). However the second 
screen goes off as soon as the mouse crosses a window (eg. xterm). To 
get this to work I had to initialise the macine to runlevel 3 then 
start X from the command line with xinit.
 
Trying to run KDE on runlevel 5, the second screen goes off as soon as X 
is initialised.
 
This is the XF86Config file I was using, there are suggestions from a 
lot of different sources in here (man pages, readme files and 
suggestions on forums) but still no joy.

I have read a related email and added the line :

Option MonitorLayout CRT,CRT

I now get dual screen under KDE however (2 independent KDE screens not
clones) it seams which works fine apart from if I move the mouse into
the left hand screen then the right hand screen goes off and wont come
back on.

Do I really need to recompile !!!

You will need to use sw cursor with 4.3 due to a bug in the final
release.
add:
Option HWCursor false 
to the device sections of your config.

Also, if you want one big logical screen instead of two separate
screens, add:
Option xinerama
to the serverflags section of your config.

Thank Alex,

It all works fine now, I ended up with Option SWCursor true (message
HWCursor not recognised) but assume the effect is the same.

Thanks again 

Martin Emms.
