Re: [Xpert]Xinerama + Radeon = No error + No Worky
Just for the record, combining the current CVS, with an experimental driver, got things working, almost. So, it is possible to do dual head with -this- oem card, one more experienced than me could answer if that meant -all- oem cards. -Adam On Fri, Nov 01, 2002 at 11:01:40PM -0800, hy0 wrote: The problem is caused by one of your monitor not being detected.

The problem is caused by one of your monitor not being detected. If both of your monitors were connected during boot time (if not, try it), this is probably another instance of the monitor detection problem with some OEM cards (the card id reported by your log file indicates you have an OEM card).

[Xpert]Xinerama + Radeon = No error + No Worky
Attached are my XF86Config-4 and XFree86.0.log files. I believe I have correctly setup my XF86Config-4 file, however my second monitor does not receive any signal. I have tried disabling various modules, I have tried swapping monitors and also I have tried various options (such as the DigitalScreen option that is enabled in the version I am sending). But no matter what I do, it seems like everything is ok, except for the part where X would actually start talking to the second head and set it up. However, there are no directly related error messages about why not :( . The newbie list had directed me here, so I thought I would try you all out. I've been trying various settings for the past month with no avail -- does anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Specs: X 4.2.1 Debian unstable/sid (pre-release X packages) CTX 17, Mitsubishi 17 (CRT/analog monitors) ATI Radeon 7500 AGP card, with a digital-analog adaptor for the second head. I appreciate any and all help, thanks very much :) . -Gryn (Adam Luter) ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
