Thanks for the information but things didn't work out, apart from some options my XF86Config is basically the same. I don't really understand what's going on, but somehow a certain "IOBase" address is changed when I shutdown X. Afterwards, X can't find the VESA BIOS of the Radeon any more at the changed address, and things refuse to work. Only way is to reboot the PC, to get this IOBase thing right again.Arnout Standaert wrote:Arnout Standaert wrote:Hi list,
I've got a dual monitor setup, one on an AGP Radeon 7500, another one on a PCI Nvidia Geforce 2 Card. I've got XFree 4.1.0.1 installed (comes with debian woody) and can get both cards working apart from each other (the Radeon works through a ChipId entry in XF86Config that fakes it to be a Radeon VE).
So far so good, then I followed the Xinerama HOWTO to get a dual monitor system, got the separate Device and Monitor sections, adjusted the ServerLayout. Now the problem:
Boot computer -> first time startx: everything works, dual monitor as i wanted
As soon as I shut down the Xserver, the screen on the Radeon shows a console message "RV200 ... VO BIOS" with a bunch of numbers where the "..." is. At the next startx, only the NVidia screen is working, message on the Radeon screen stays the same.
The XFree86 log file has the error "Cannot read V_BASE" for the Radeon. Only a machine reboot can make the dual monitor setup work again.
Hi list,
I sent this question to the list some days ago, but I guess this is quite a complex problem... can anyone suggest the next step for help to solve this problem? Are there other help resources besides this mailing list?
Thanks in advance,
Arnout
Hi!
I don't think I realy have an answer, but here is my config file. My dual screen config works fine here.
To start my X with both screens, all I have to do is "startx -- -layout dual".
O.
Maybe someone has a clue on reconfiguring these parameters manually (instead of rebooting), or a simple clue on what they're referring to would be helpful too...
Any advice is highly appreciated,
Arnout
