MergedFB and XINERAMA

2003-09-08 Thread Billy Biggs
As a more specific version of my last post, do MergedFB drivers not support the XINERAMA client extension such that applications can know that there are multiple heads? I would hope that these two things are not mutually exclusive. -Billy ___

Dual-head without XINERAMA ?

2003-09-07 Thread Billy Biggs
Hey all, I'm looking for some advice about a driver which is in dual-head mode but does not seem to support XINERAMA. This driver is the latest ATI (firegl?) driver. Logs from this server were sent to me by the user: http://vektor.ca/bugs/atidriver/ I'm wondering if there are other

Andrew C Aitchison ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): The problem is that my application needs geometry information to calculate the pixel aspect ratio. X tells me the geometry is 867mm x 347mm but the vidmode extension tells me the current resolution is 1280x1024, and so my pixel aspect ratio
