[Xpert]radeon dual head problem
Hello, I am currently trying to use the dualhead features of my video card. I own a radeon 8500 retail, a computer with debian on it and xfree86 4.2.99_2 and a couple of monitors. I am trying to dual-head. At the end I hope to get a fixed frequency sun monitor running (I posted on this mailinglist about that more then half a year ago, but now I finally got hold of some good adaptors), but at the moment I am still trying to get an older 15 inch pc thing working (first dualhead must work - first crawl, then walk). So I plug in my regular Nokia at the vga connector, and a dvi to vga adaptor in the second head (it was included in the cards box). On top of that goes the 15 incher. The result is pretty disappointing... I read from the XF86Config-4 man page that a directive 'Screen n' must be used to denote the different heads. So I set up my config file as follows: # ** # Refer to the XF86Config(4/5) man page for details about the format of # this file. # ** Section Files RgbPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb #FontPath unix/:-1 #FontPath tcp/localhost:7100 FontPath tcp/localhost:7110 FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc #FontPath FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID #FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo FontPath/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID FontPath/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic FontPath/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi FontPath /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi FontPath/home/yalu/.fonts EndSection # ** # Server flags section. # ** Section ServerFlags # Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is # received.

The weird thing is that Xfree86 claims to be using the monitor, but nothing shows up on the screen. As I said, my X installation is pretty recent.

This is most likely wrong, the 1962b in its factory setting likes H around 72 kHz to maybe 78kHz. 1280x960 is my preferred resolution. You can try these modelines: ModeLine 1152x864 115 1152 1200 1300 1600 864 864 868 900 -hsync -vsync ModeLine 1280x960 131 1280 1336 1456 1680 960 964 968 1000 -hsync -vsync I got this from a pdf on the monitor I own: Vertical refresh rate : 60-85 Hz Horizontal Scan rate: 60- 80 KHz (Kilo Hetrz). Default set to 72Khz--- this is what you just said. Horizontal scan rate is adjusted by H.Freq (Hold) as mentioned above.

Even basic things like refresh rates. The pdf gives *ranges* for a fixed freq monitor?? Can a nvidia riva tnt2 M64 support this? Most likely yes. There are only a few broken cards that cannot produce negative sync, all others should work. And posts on mailing lists apparently contradict too :-) If I ever find out how to get the monitor to work I'l certainly do a follow-up here and in debian-sparc... I just want to know what video cards can do fixed-freq. monitors before I buy a 13W3-hd15 adaptor. Depending on the intended use of the monitor and depending on the adaptor you may need a card that does composite sync. Some do, others don't... You can get an adapter that does the mixing. See the note above: the cheapos should do that no? -- homepage: www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~m9917684 jabber (=IM): [EMAIL PROTECTED] No part of this copyright message may be reproduced, read or seen, dead or alive or by any means, including but not limited to telepathy without the benevolence of the author. ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

(suddenly noticed I replied personally instead of to the list, sorry) On Sunday 24 February 2002 19:40, you wrote: Fixed frequency is not a problem and pretty much any video card can nail the frequencies if you've got the correct modeline. The problem is that most fixed frequency monitors are also sync-on-green or in the case of Sun, composite-sync. NVIDIA cards cannot do sync-on-green nor composite-sync. Hm. I think someone on the debian sparc mailing list told me the adaptor would solve this problem, it's called a 'sync combiner' I think. Anyway. If the nvidia doesn't work, Maybe a radeon card would? (I suddenly also notice Mark Vojkovich works for nvidia :) ) --- copy-paste --- so any video cable adaptor *must* contain a sync combiner. The Ultraspec # 1396 adaptor is one that does and it's made to work with older Sun colour monitors when connected to PC's. I guess these cheapos wont: http://www.miragemultimedia.biz/product.asp?3=97 They are talking about the SUN 20d10 monitor, is that one comparable to mine you think? (No I don't know too much about sun hardware as you can tell). http://store.yahoo.com/cablesonline/vgato13sunvi.html They aren't talking about anything :) But with that adaptor from ultraspec (36$) I should have everything I need to get pretty (big) pictures on my PC? - - His answer: - - Yes, that adaptor (or a similar third-party one) will enable the 1962 monitor to work with your PC's framebuffer once you get it to generate the right video specs. The cable adaptor is only a wiring adaptor - it's still up to your PC's display card to output signals with suitable parameters to make the monitor happy. 8-) --- copy-paste --- Am I also right thinking I will only be able to use the monitor under X (no console or boot messages)? That's correct for the bios screen, but svgatext mode should be able to let you see most of the boot messages (from the part where it gets loaded). I'll compile it in. No problem!! ;-) ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
