I've got the Radeon OSS driver running correctly now on my Radeon HD 7850 (PITCAIRN). It will do triplehead (aka Eyefinity) fine with the OSS driver. The trick for me was to let X probe everything, but use xrandr in a script file called from both /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xrandr-layout (which I created) to organize my screens correctly. For me, the contents of the layout script was written by a handy little app called 'arandr', and looks like this: # screen layout script #!/bin/bash xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --off \ --output DVI-1 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal \ --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal \ --output HDMI-0 --off I saved the script in /usr/bin/xrandr-screen-layout, and called it from /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xrandr-layout (a single line in there), and from /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, using the following config item: display-setup-script=/usr/bin/xrandr-screen-layout I wrote a full xorg.conf, but for some reason, because my DisplayPort-0 does not yet have my third monitor hooked up (I need a mini to regular adaptor to make my active DP->DVI dongle work), I could not get the xorg.conf working. It kept trying to put my first screen on the DisplayPort-0 anyway, and I could not figure out how to tell X to not use it :(. I'm sure there is a way and would LOVE to know how if anyone knows. Once I get the adaptor, and hookup DisplayPort-0, I'll modify the script to enable correct placement of that third monitor too. Took literally all f*(<ing day to do it, but YAY - FINALLY everything is working now!! I still see some stuff in my log I'm not keen on, like: (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling: disabled (II) RADEON(0): KMS Color Tiling 2D: disabled and (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 508 x 317 but I think the latter has to do with DisplayPort-0 not being active yet, and it's the card's primary port. Hopefully this can help someone else wean themselves off of the proprietary ATI/Catalyst/fglrx.
