Isn't Ati Radeon 8500 have the dual monitor feature, if so you must download the driver at ati. If not, good luck in what you are trying to do.

I am forwarding this post I made on the xfree86 list for redhat as
suggested by its members ...

I tried all I could think of ..

- used the CVS head of the Xfree86 as of a couple weeks ago
- tried the GATOS driver + DRM kernel module

It's still failing pretty much the same : the second screen (screen 1) gets
deleted
when I try to use 2 screens. Each of them works perfectly independantly,
which I can check by just removing/adding them alternatively to the Layout.

Is dual monitor supported for ATI ?

Thanks

Philippe

Subject: could use some help with dual monitor ...

I am running RH 8.0, Xfree 4.2.0 from distro and 2 ATI cards :

- ATI radeon 8500 DV AGP
- ATI Radeon 7500 PCI

Both cards are recognized and work fine independantly.
I setup my XFree986Config to use both at the same time by defining the
following layout (actual files are included below).

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Multi Configured"
        Screen  0    "Screen0"
        Screen  1    "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

I checked that each card is working by commenting out the "Screen 1" line
and switching the "Screen 0" line between "Screen0" and "Screen1".

Everytime I add the Screen 1 line, I get the following error in
XFree86.0.log
(details below)

(II) Loading sub module "radeon"
(II) LoadModule: "radeon"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o
(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
(II) UnloadModule: "ati"
(II) UnloadModule: "radeon"

and, sure enough, only 1 monitor is running :-(

Any idea about what I am doing wrong here ???

Thanks !

Philippe
