That's strange, because when I tried the radeon driver originally it made the system do a hard reset each time I tried to start X. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I've switched from the closed "fglrx" driver to the open "ati" driver for now, because the dual head works with ati. But the DPMS still doesn't work on the DVI, so I don't think it's driver-specific. The "radeon" driver must be a bit of a red herring as far as the newer cards are concerned. Was this for the original Radeon, then development focus switched back to the ati driver, shelving the radeon driver? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] DPMS not working with DVI
I've noticed that DPMS doesn't seem to work with my monitor using the DVI-D connector. It did with my old Matrox G450 (analogue/VGA), and it seems to work on the 2nd head (also analogue/VGA) with this Radeon 9000 - except so far I've only been able to get the second head to be a copy of the first. Is there an alternative to DPMS for DVI that XFree86 supports? -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

I think it's academic now though, because there is so much else wrong with this card: Installing Windows drivers crashes, so there's no 3D. It doesn't support Linux framebuffers, either with the vesa or radeon driver. The DVI output has just stopped working (I think; I've yet to try the monitor and lead with my other PC, but I suspect the card). The VGA output just failed when I started X and needed a power cycle. Looks like this turkey is going back and I'll be looking for a GeForce 4MX (yuck) as the only alternative with passable 3D acceleration, DVI, dual head and no fan. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] Radeon 9000 problems
I've just installed a Sapphire Radeon 9000 with ATI's fglrx drivers, and I can't get the dual head to work properly; the second screen is always just a copy of the first. Can anyone help? My first screen is a DVI LCD monitor, the second one is analogue. I'm using Debian XFree86 4.2.1-4 on an Athlon PC. I've tried the free radeon driver as well, but it just causes the system to reboot whether I set the ChipID or not. I ran fglrxconfig (which I thought was quite good actually, but I always did like xf86config), and it got the BusID wrong, using PCI:1:0:1 instead of PCI:1:0:0. I changed it to 0 and that got it working. I noticed there is an extra entry with lspci though: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4966 (rev 01) 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 496e (rev 01) The relevant sections from XF86Config-4 are at the end of my post. If I change the Xinerama option to true, my pointer can disappear off the left of both monitors, and windows get opened on the missing second display, so I can see them in the desktop pager, but not on either real screen. If I choose a single framebuffer in fglrxconfig, the left half of my desktop is invisible, and the right half shows on both of them. I've tried setting the second BusID to 1:0:1, but it doesn't make any difference except I get the warning about it not finding a corresponding device. # === ATI device section === Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter jack 0" Driver "fglrx" # === disable PnP Monitor === #Option "NoDDC" # === disable/enable XAA/DRI === Option "no_accel" "no" Option "no_dri" "no" # === Fire GL DDX driver module specific settings === # === Screen Management === Option "DesktopSetup" "0x" Option "Display2" "0" Option "HSync2" "30-60" Option "VRefresh2" "50-60" Option "GammaCorrectionI" "0x06419064" Option "GammaCorrectionII" "0x06419064" # === OpenGL specific profiles/settings === Option "Capabilities" "0x" # === Video Overlay for the Xv extension === Option "VideoOverlay" "on" # === OpenGL Overlay === # Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay # will be disabled automatically Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" BusID "PCI:1:0:0"# vendor=1002, device=496e Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Graphics Adapter jack 1" Driver "fglrx" BusID "PCI:1:0:0"# vendor=1002, device=496e Screen 1 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon 9000 0" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" ChipID 0x5157 # 7500 #ChipID 0x4242 # 8500 Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Radeon 9000 1" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" ChipID 0x5157 # 7500 Screen 1 EndSection # ** # Screen sections # ** Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "ATI Graphics Adapter jack 0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 #Option "backingstore" Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600" ViewPort0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop EndSubsection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "ATI Graphics Adapter jack 1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 24 #Option "backingstore" Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600" ViewPort0 0 # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop EndSubsection EndSection # ** # ServerLayout sections. # ** Section "ServerLayout" # The Identifier line must be present Identifier "Server Layout" Screen "Screen0" Screen "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" Option "Xinerama" "false" EndSection ### EOF ### -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
