(II) intel(0): Pipe B is off (II) intel(0): Display plane B is now disabled and connected to pipe B. (II) intel(0): Output VGA is connected to pipe A Even worse, this full information is not included with -probeonly. With that option, only the previous short information is available: (II) intel(0): Output VGA connected (II) intel(0): Output VGA using initial mode 1152x768 Ok, now as Keith has added the "Enable" option, we can even have the same configuration as before, by adding a monitor section for each detected monitor, with the 'Option "Enable" "true"' included (tested, this works). However, strictly speaking this is no longer necessary as we already have a workaround / solution for that in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, setting this dynamically just before login. We should discuss which way to go in this case (laptop). For the general (fixed monitors, dual-head workstation) case: In sax, add monitor descriptions named "Monitor[<OUTPUT>]" as found, add Option "monitor-<OUTPUT>" "Monitor[<OUTPUT>]" to the driver section. Add Virtual <width> <height> with the *total* width and height of the complete monitor setup to each Display subsection of the Screen section. Add Option "LeftOf" "Monitor[<OTHER_OUTPUT>]" to the monitor section for the left monitor. Alternatively, use RightOf, Above, Below, or the Position option: Option "Position" "<x> <y>" with x, y being the offset of the origin of the combined monitor layout. The Position option would need to be set for all monitors. The <OUTPUT> names so far can only be determined by checking the logfile (driver dependent, but this is intel only ATM), or with xrandr with a running Xserver. If xrandr returns "default" as the only output, the driver is not RANDR 1.2 capable. I cannot estimate ATM how this interferes with the inner working of sax2, but I doubt this can be implemented with profiles alone. I have yet to verify the multimonitor-solution, the one laptop sitting here doesn't have os10.3 installed in a working condition, and the desktop has only a single output... -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
