No - It is only required to control the second monitor. The options vary with radeon versus radeonhd. A secondary problem is sound card configuration. In my case, the motherboard ALC883 is not configured. Based on my research, I think this will be solved by udev rules. I say this because different alsa options result in different video setups for the secondary monitor. In one configuration I used xrandr --auto --- worked perfectly. Now I have to use specific xrandr commands to get the desired results. The radeon or radeonhd driver produce the same results. I believe the only common link is the udev rules. > From: goto <[email protected]> > Date: 2009/01/18 Sun PM 01:35:22 CST > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Bug 311748] Re: [HD3470 + HD3200] Dual cards prevents X from > starting / black screen > > mlindeblom: > Thanks for the testing. So radeonhd works with two cards (And the card, which should be used set manually by pci id). > I saw in your xorg.conf, that you used the option "HPD" "off". Is this necessary? If yes, does an Option "HPD" "swap" work also? You know that this should only be a temporal workaround, until the table in the driver gets updated and you don't need this option any more [1]. Please report the bug upstream, as I described above, if the option is necessary. Also I can do that for you, if you don't want to do that. > > Thanks! > > [1] http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd > Section "10.5.

Ubuntu Intrepid installed, but i couldn't get any GUI. The x-server tried to start but failed. I also cannot switch to terminal using crtl-alt F1, because X keeps trying. sometimes i get the errormessage: no screens found. I tried ati, radeon, vesa, radeonhd. I tried installing the official ati-drivers. Nothing worked, then after hours of mindbreaking i installed Hardy Heron, IT worked! Installed the restricted drivers and the screen looks nice. No sound though and no wireless. > > How can i get Intrepid Ibex to work? I read somewhere that xorg 7.4 could be the problem or the 4GB of RAM. Don't know how to fix this though. Latest versions of Mandriva and OpenSuse also do not run from livecd or install and suse complains about the graphic card. > [lspci] > 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] RS780 Host Bridge [1022:9600] > Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
