Hello List, has anybody managed to get a ATI grafixcard with multihead support working on suse 9.2 (X.org) on AMD 64?
Sorry, but not me.
I'm close to surrender with my radeon 9000 and newest drivers. My setup includes a DVI TFT display as primary and an analog TFT as secondary. I followed the readme and the howto from ATI, (several times), but when "startx" the primary display (dvi) stops immediately, syaing "entering sleep mode". IU managed to make the secondary display work, but only without dri and glx. (videos are only blue, no 3D support) In my logfile it says something like: XFree86.0.log:(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (NVIDIA X driver not found)
You cannot run drivers developed by NVIDIA with ATI cards. Please check your X.org configuration and remove those NVIDIA drivers.
which is funny, because it's a radeon - or is this a misunderstanding ?
I looks like a bug. Maybe you run Yast Online Update and selected fetchnvidia.sh once?
but X stops wiith various configurations because of missing screens or displays - in fact I never managed to get a working config with the fglrxconfig tool, I always had to fix XF86Config by hand.
(apart from the typo bug Keyboard->keyboard in the driver line) :-(
any ideas/hints?
Have a closer look here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/ATI/suse92/x86_64/fglrx/8.8.25/ or here: http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html to get x86_64 supported drivers for ATI cards.
I would also appreciate hints about working multihead configurations with other grafixcards on AMD64 platform, because i really like this hardware, but I feel very sad about the bad quality of ATI drivers ... or my incapability to make them work properly. Thanks!
Have a look at this SDB article, which gives you first hints about dualhead configuration: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2001/01/pohletz_matroxg450.html Note: This is a Matrox G450 configuration, and either that it is (old) XFree86 configuration. But XF86 doesn't differ much from X.org configuration.

Yes. I had a g-force mx 5200 before in that pc, and that worked with 3d - I installed the 3d driver - could this be a rest of that previous installation? How can I check? How can I get rid of that?
but X stops wiith various configurations because of missing screens or displays - in fact I never managed to get a working config with the fglrxconfig tool, I always had to fix XF86Config by hand.

ATI are newer, Suse don't work at all here. I' ll install a new plain system on a free partition here and try again - if necessary with both drivers...
to get x86_64 supported drivers for ATI cards.

Anybody out there with NVIDIA? If I don't succeed, I sell the ATI and will buy a NVIDIA card, which works with an analog and an dvi tft in cinerama mode... but which? Thanks so far!
