--- Comment #4 from Elmar Stellnberger <[email protected]> 2010-12-14 09:39:17 PST --- Well, with the newer 2.6.36 kernels of openSUSE/tumbleweed the situation is like the following: It boots up normally even with kernel modesetting keeping both monitors in function, but then when I try to start an X-server kernel modesetting fails completely: My external screen is suddenly blackened and the color palette of my integrated screen is in the a.. showing pixelry but no cognizable output. So please keep UserLevelModeSetting working! Kernel modesetting will probably not start to work for longingly long epochs. It is always a bad idea to purge support in favour of a prospective feature that yet does not work. People want to work with Xorg now and yet! Older versions are so often not an option due to other flagrant bugs. To me support of an external monitor is coactively necessary as I do not have an own desktop computer but a desktop monitor and a desktop mouse and keyboard as used with a smaller-displayered notebook... and believe me all those guys who have a notebook want to plug it one or another time into their TV to show photos or watch a film - so this is nothing marginal nothing less than a feature of all-out usage, a feature that should not be payed less attention to than implementing new 3d-features used only by a limited number applications. At least people hate to loose something that was already known to work! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
