I tried 4.5.0 RC1 with a multi-head config using a Mach64 and i810, and didn't see any problem like this. I can try some other multi-head configs later this week.

I haven't updated in a long time on that machine. I'll try to figure out when, but I'm not sure how to do that reliably.

External CRT works on 1024x768 but LCD not. Please Help!!!
Hi, Can someone help me, please!? I have a Compal CY27 laptop. The graphics chipset is (as reported by lspci): :00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) :00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) I read all material on the net about the memory/vbios problems with this chipset. I do not think I have this problem because I can change the memory allocated to the graphics card in the BIOS setup program, and the XFree output reflects these changes. I have tried all kinds of patchs, all the latest XFree versions available (including 4.4.0), several distros (FC1, FC2, Mandrake 10 and now, Debian unstable), the IBM driver, asked the dealer and manufacturer for a BIOS update, but my LCD never reaches 1024x768 (only 800x600 and 640x480). Actually, a few months ago, I gave out trying to make the LCD work under 1024x768, after all this dozens of failed trials. I am getting back to this because I just find out that, if I connect a external CRT monitor (actually a Samsung SyncMaster 700p) to the CRT out of my laptop, 1024x768 works on it! I am completely puzzled. If XFree can make the external monitor works on 1024x768, why it can not do the same with the LCD? I was told that my graphics chipset has a vbios problem that prevents Xfree from recognizing its ability to work under 1024x768, but, if this is true, why that external CRT works under 1024x768? I must note that under WinXP the LCD works on 1024x768 and that the XiG X server can also do the same. Now that it is clear that Xfree can produce 1024x768 with my chipset and my LCD supports 1024x768, how can I force Xfree to try 1024x768 on the LCD? My XF86Config-4 can be found here: http://paginas.terra.com.br/educacao/nqnsome/xf86config.txt The XFree output can be found here: http://paginas.terra.com.br/educacao/nqnsome/xfree_output.txt I am really sorry for my bad English. Thanks a lot for your assistance.

Re: Problem restoring console?
In case it wasn't clear, only dual-card layouts show the problem. I can start just the secondary card and the primary console will be restored correctly, likewise starting on only the primary card works fine. Only when starting on both cards will the primary console be restored incorrectly. This didn't happen before updating. MArk.

Problem restoring console?
I just updated on my dual-card system and with the update I see a problem restoring the console that I did not see previously. If I startx on the primary card and then quit, the primary card is restored correctly. However, if I startx on both cards and quit, the primary card is not restored correctly. I have a hard time imagining how it could be a driver issue since the "nv" driver knows nothing about the other cards in the layout (nor should it) and does not change its behavior when there is more than one card in the layout. The core server code, on the other hand, does. Have there been changes to vgahw, RAC, PCI config code, console code, etc... that may have caused this regression?
