--- Comment #4 from Arno Schuring <aelschur...@hotmail.com> 2009-08-07 10:54:46 PST --- In order to rule out any incompatibilities between Debian and Ubuntu, I tried the Ubuntu karmic live-cd (alpha-3) today. The shipped kernel (based on -rc3) supports kms when radeon.modeset=1 is passed on the command line. This cd exhibited the same symptoms at boot (one monitor killed), but X.org could succesfully initialize the second monitor, using a 6.12.99 driver from 29-06. Next, I installed the packages from xorg-edgers in the live environment, and the symptoms reappeared. I have tried various combinations of mesa, libdrm, and xorg-video. I apologize for not having exact version numbers - I did create a document containing all my findings but being a live-cd, I stored it only on the tmpfs and during one of my trials I got a hard hang... Nevertheless, I can confidently say the following: - the display problems are consistent among all tested kernels (self-built -rc1 to -rc5, and Ubuntu-built -rc3) - X.org is capable of recovering the second monitor itself, except when using all packages from the xorg-edgers repository. I scanned the build logs for both libdrm and video-ati, and the only difference between the builds (other than checkout dates) is the appearance of enable-radeon-experimental-api in the xorg-edgers libdrm. I assume all other configurations use an older code path for modesetting? - in all cases where X.org failed to recover the second monitor, xrandr showed incomplete resolution information like I mentioned above. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
