Re: [Xpert]ATI Radeon VE dual head support?
Hi, On Wed, Apr 10, 2002 at 08:15:10PM -0700, hy0 wrote: At the time dual-head features were added, there was no OEM VE card available. The dual-head support in x420 radeon driver hasn't been tested on any OEM card. It turns out DELL has some cards with OEM version of BIOS not working with current driver on their 2nd head. Okay, understood. AFAIK, DELL has cards with two DVI-D outputs and with two VGA outputs (all from a dangle). It appears if the 2nd head is connected to a CRT, some register bit (CRT2_ON?) has not been set correctly and you'll get a blank screen. If the 2nd head is connected to a DFP, it's totally not handled. I'm not sure when someone (or myself) can have time to have this support added. Yep, that's what I am seeing, I'm getting a blank screen on the 2nd CRT monitor. Not sure what kind of card you have, maybe you can help to debug it :-) I would be more than happy to help. We purchased this model because I thought Radeon VE was supported by XFree, and I'm sad seeing my 2nd monitor blank :) Here's what the driver find about my card: (--) RADEON(0): Chipset: ATI Radeon VE (AGP) (ChipID = 0x5159) (--) RADEON(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xf000 (--) RADEON(0): MMIO registers at 0xff9f (--) RADEON(0): BIOS at 0xc100 (--) RADEON(0): VideoRAM: 32768 kByte (64-bit DDR SDRAM) (II) RADEON(0): PLL parameters: rf=2700 rd=60 min=12000 max=35000; xclk=18300 Not sure how I can help, but if you can direct me I'll do my best.

Do you mean that the OEM chip isn't supported by the XFree driver ? I did some test on DELL's OEM Radeon VE card with a 4.2.0 XFree86, and both cards get initialized, but 2nd screen remain with no signal.

Re: [Xpert]ATI Radeon VE dual head support?
Try to add BusID PCI:1:0:0 in both of your device sections. I do believe my ServerLayout section is correct as well. I've attached a log file as well as my entire XF86Config. I will feely muchly indebted if someone can help me with this! I am, BTW running a genuine ATI card. Came in an ATI retail box, even. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
Re: [Xpert]ATI Radeon VE dual head support?
Have you put Screen 0 and Screen 1 in your SeverLayout section? If yes, post your log file. x420 supports VE dual-head setup. However if you are using some OEM version of VE card (like DELL's) you might be out of luck. After hours of net searching, I've been unable to find any information about whether or not the Radeon driver supports the dual-head cards. X runs just fine, but I'm unable to set up multiple displays-- I'm stuck with one display mirrored on two monitors. While stereo-scopic vision is nifty and all, I'd prefer something a little more useful... Has anyone gotten dual-head working on the Radeon VE? IS this even supported in the driver? If so, how? Any help would be appreciated, considering I bought this card simply because it was dual-head. I'm running 4.20, and here are the relevant sections of my XF86Config file: Section Device Identifier RadeonVE VendorName ATI BoardName Unknown Driver ati Screen 0 EndSection Section Device Identifier RadeonVE2 VendorName ATI BoardName Unknown Driver ati Screen 1 EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen 1 Device RadeonVE Monitor nanao DefaultDepth 24 Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1024x768 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Section Screen Identifier Screen 2 Device RadeonVE2 Monitor gateway DefaultDepth 24 Subsection Display Depth 24 Modes 1024x768 ViewPort0 0 EndSubsection EndSection ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
