Mailinglist Archive: radeonhd (400 mails)

[Jonathan Anderson <jonathan.anderson@xxxxxxxx>]

My e-mails don't seem to be getting through to the radeonhd@xxxxxxxxxxxx 
list... grrrrr.

Anyway, I've attached what my VGA output looks like after doing the steps 
listed below. Sorry for the quality, but my camera phone is all I have handy.

The point is, I get two images (both badly distorted) on my CRT, and each one 
has a tiny resolution (I think it's 1024x768) no matter what I put in my 
xorg.conf.

I hope this helps somehow...

p.s. Do you have any idea why my e-mails aren't showing up on the list?
