[Bug 350912] New: Dual Head display not working on PMac G5
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=350912 Summary: Dual Head display not working on PMac G5 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: sjmunroe@aol.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: Customer I have a PMac G5 2.3GHz with a ATI RV359 AP (Radeon 9600) with two DVI plugs. To which I have attached two Samsung SyncMaster 213t displays. I should be able to use both displays in dual-head mode with 3200x1200 resolution, and in fact this does work when I boot OSX (dual-boot conf) and it DID work with the previous linux install (YellowDog 4.1). But when I enable Dual head mode in Sax2 it accepts the change but the 2nd display remains black! The cursor seems to track off the edge of the first display but again the 2nd display remains black. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok, that got my 2nd monitor working, but when I drag a a kconsole over to the second dispay the text becomes unreadable and lines are all jaggy.
Oh well. :-(
Plus Sax2 now only shows Display1 and no longer display the Dual Head options?
Since for your hardware the default driver is radeon and not radeonold, SaX2 doesn't not know about the dualhead capability.
Is there an update for this?
Not really, but possibly the radeonrandr12 driver will work for you. --> http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/randr12.html logfile is still missing ==> NEEDINFO -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Created an attachment (id=188897) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=188897) [details] log from the radeonrandr12 experiment This is again the radeon driver. :-(
(In reply to comment #9 from Steven Munroe)
Tried the radeonrandr12 driver which resulted in a space-shot (black screen, had to force reboot to get the system back). Looks like the driver is not an option on your hardware.
Last resort would be to use the old Xinerama setup instead of MergedFB. sax2 -r -b /usr/share/sax/profile/Radeon_DualHead Possibly you need to exchange again radeon with radeonold in xorg.conf afterwards. Let me know if this works for you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
