Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-i810
In the man page it says that there is a option "FlipPrimary", which
seems to be useful when using a dual-head configuration. However, when i
actually use that option in the xorg.conf the log will tell me that this
option is ignored. I then looked at the source code, and there is in
fact no such option. Instead there is the option "FixedPipe". This
option seems to actually exists because the logs do NOT give the message
that the option is ignored (but this option is not mentioned in the man
page).
So i guess the man page is simply wrong, the description of FlipPrimary should
be removed and a description of "FixedPipe" should be inserted. Note that these
two options seem to have different functions.
In any case the documentation of the whole "Pipe" thing is very bad and should
be improved so that even "normal" people can understand what it is about.
I'm running kubuntu 7.04 on a hp nx 5000 laptop.
