So was I ... for months. To see how I finally got it working, see the recent thread in this mailing list (www.xfree86.org seems to be down at the moment, so I can't give you a direct reference).

But you won't get dual head working with the current ones anyway (or at least, I couldn't). What you need is the current CVS (or latest 4.3 preview snapshot) of XFree86, plus a patch to fix some problems and add some features on radeon, plus a magic line in the config file. Details are in the previous thread I mentioned! Bear in mind that you don't get accelerated 3D from the driver at present. Perhaps I should package up my build in case anyone else wants to give it a try. Is there a standard way to make a binary package from a CVS source tree? -- Bill Gallafent. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
