[Bug 307456] New: Can't configure a working dualhead configuration
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307456 Summary: Can't configure a working dualhead configuration Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: lenz@grimmer.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- I have a Thinkpad T42 with a builtin ATI Radeon 9600 Mobility GPU (using the "radeon" driver module). The Laptop display is a 14,1" LCD, providing a 1400x1050 pixel resolution. Attached to the analog VGA connector there is a Samsung Syncmaster 940BW LCD screen, which provides a resolution of 1440x900 pixels. I'd like to configure these screens in a Dual-Head, Xinerama mode. Configuring X for the internal display only worked fine. But extending that configuration with the external monitor connected does not result in a working configuration. Even though I configured the correct resolutions, the test screen comes up in a dual-head mode using 2560x960 pixels, with a viewport that is moving/scrolling inside this resolution. The displays are not driven with their native resolution, so the image is slighly blurred. -- 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.

It might be an option for you to use the "radeonrandr12" driver instead. See also http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/randr12.html

This driver is so broken. I'm seriously considering to add the 6.6.3 radeon driver as fallback (calling it "radeonold"). We had this before I know ... I really did this. It's on openSUSE 10.3 final.
