Re: [XFree86] radeon 9000 dual head work at all?
Michel: Thanks a lot for your help. I read more about the log file, and now I'm able to get the dri working without dualhead, it was due to the agpgart module not loaded, I tested with q3demo, very cool. then I tried to take down the dri module and run dual head, still doesn't work, then I wrote more logging into the XF86 code and tried it. it looks that for each Device listed in XF86Config, xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Helper.c was checking for a physical device from a list of physical devices it somehow got in a initialization process. this list contains xf86NumEntities number of detected physical devices, but in my logging file, it shows no physical devices before the RADEON driver tries to do a match from the Device section( I think this is called an instance in code) to the physical devices. no wonder it can't find a matching. but the allocation of physical devices is too hard for me to look through. I enclosed my log file XFree86.0.log and the config file XF86Config, could you please have a look when you got time? Thanks a lot! yang # File: XF86Config-4 # File generated by fglrxconfig (C) ATI Research, a substitute for xf86config. # Note by ATI: the below copyright notice is there for servicing possibly # pending third party rights on the file format and the instance of this file. # # Copyright (c) 1999 by The XFree86 Project, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the Software), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

RE: [XFree86] radeon 9000 dual head work at all?
You seem to be using a different driver then the one that fglrxconfig sets up for me with my ATI *built* 9000 Pro. I am given the fglrx driver. But if its any comfort, dual head doesn't seem to work for mine either. I can't even get a screen with my fglrxconfig created XF86Config file. I just get a device not found error. I've given up.

Re: [XFree86] radeon 9000 dual head work at all?
Thanks Paul. I seem to figured out these things: might be useful to you too. fglrx only works with XF86 4.2 /4.1, in fact , I got it working (with TV-out (kind of dual head)) before. but doesn't work with XF864.3, because XF864.3 uses a totally different way to load driver modules specified in the Device section: it goes to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/* instead of /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/char/drm so when I put flgrx in the /lib/modules... XF86 4.3 says can't find the module, and if i put it in /usr/X11R6/.. it says the module format is wrong, seems 4.3 put the driver into two parts, one in /usr/X11R6 , and that calls the drm unit ( kernel module) in /lib/modules . if you want , you can go into your XFree86.0.log and search device not found and see what file it was trying to load, maybe it will help. yang On Sat, Apr 12, 2003 at 12:33:45PM -0700, Paul wrote: You seem to be using a different driver then the one that fglrxconfig sets up for me with my ATI *built* 9000 Pro.

Do you say that you actually got your 9000 Pro working in XF86 4.2/4.1? That's what I am running now (XF96 4.2 in the Red Hat 8.0 installation) and I am having no luck whatsoever. Were you able to use your fglrxconfig generated XF86Config file without editing it? If you were able to get your 9000 Pro card fully functioning in XF86 4.2, I would like to know how you did it.
