Re: Configuring X for second monitor running free-driver.

[Sthu Deus]

Thank You for Your time and answer, Hugo:

 Also I can not use option DRI in Section Device - Xserver does not start 
 then.
   
and the log? What does the log say?

For now I have downgraded all the xserver-xorg* packages - back to stable, 
therefore, now X loads with the option, at least, though I do not have 
3D-acceleration in the second monitor at least, ans the first one - is off 
always. Also, I can not watch windowed movies - but only in full screen, and 
some applications that use full screen mode and change resolution - the 
monitors turns off automatically for the time the app. is running - I believe 
it is been sent to the primary monitor.

So, could You recommend a good guide on how I can get full control over the 
monitors so that I may easily specify in xorg.conf which hardware to use?

I was searching Internet w/o luck on it as yet...

Also in the man xorg.conf I have read that for dual heads of vcard I can 
specify bus for every head and utility of pciscan is suggested to be used but I 
can not find such an one in Debian repos. May, You know how I can find out the 
bus addresses for the heads?

Thank You for Your time and effort, once again.

Good day.


Could You please help me with my X server config.

I'm trying to use only external monitor connected to a laptop and all is fine 
except that I have no 3D-support and also mplayer when playing movies shows it 
only in full screen mode and refuses to show it in its window.

It seems to me that Xserver does not operate fully somehow with the external 
screen - sending most of its capabilities to the internal screen (that is off 
always) and not to the external one. This my guess also proves the KDE 3.6 
control center - in section of display it show only single screen w abilities 
of the laptop screen and it is no possibility to change the screen1 to another 
screen - that is KDE does not know on which screen it runs.

Also I can not use option DRI in Section Device - Xserver does not start 
then.
