Could be that this is no longer working. But mergedfb should still, which is our default for Matrox graphics cards for Dualhead since quite some time now. Could you try with "sax2 -r" to generate a Mergedfb configuration? "sax2 -r -b /usr/share/sax/profile/Matrox_DualHead" forces SaX2 to generate the old Xinerama setup, which aparently no longer works. :-( BTW, "sax2 -r -m 0=radeonrandr12" gives you a RANDR 1.2 configuration, but I don't consider this driver stable enough to make it the default. -- 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.

Mergedfb is configureable as clone or xinerama, but the outcome is completly unuseable. Drawing/refresh does not seem to work at all if you click on "test", the whole screen is unreadable/unuseable. -- 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.

This driver builds, but doesn't work at all. Complete framebuffer distortion. Mouse doesn't work, etc .. Latest git commit January 2008 (probably another given up project). This might sound rude, but I consider trying to use a Matrox G450 (released in 2000) on x86_64 a corner case. I suggest to use the 11.0 RPMs for now or change graphics card. Let me know which BUS you're using (likely PCI or AGP) and I'll give you a Dualhead capable graphics card in exchange. Reassigning to Egbert.

I'd be happy if dual head would work. Right now I have a single head config. So, is there a chance to get at least dual head working again?

There is an easy way to solve this: Downgrade the following packages to 11.0 and set a lock with zypper: 2 | xorg-x11-server | package | (jedes) 3 | xorg-x11-driver-video | package | (jedes) 4 | xorg-x11-driver-input | package | (jedes) 5 | xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd | package | (jedes) 6 | xorg-x11-driver-video-unichrome | package | (jedes) Afterwards, you can use zypper to install updates, but your x11 driver will not be updated. Works fine for me. -- 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.
