[Bug 330348] New: Xinerama does NOT work with Intel GMA 950
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330348 Summary: Xinerama does NOT work with Intel GMA 950 Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: felix.rommel@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Description: I have a Z61m and Xinerama does not work with my Intel GMA 950 graphic card. I tried different settings (see attached xorg.conf-xinerama-1024x1024 and xorg.conf-xinerama-1280x1024) How to reproduce: 1. kill all graphic programs like gdm, X etc. and log in as root on terminal 1 2. delete /etc/xorg.conf 3. start sax2 with -i option 4. sax2 detects a good resolution 5. activate Xinerama multihead option 6. Test it Results: My laptop display gets cloned but no Xinerama support. Solution: Use xrandr to set all monitor resolutions on Intel GMA950 cards. It's much better than all that old stuff. Have a look at my xorg.conf-works file. Most important part is the "virtual" option. At the moment due to a bad driver there is only a max resolution of 2048x2048 pixels. If you set it up to a higher resolution, 3D support gets lost. With this configuration I can activate an external monitor with: xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768_70.00 --below LVDS Explanation: mode: is a refresh line to get 70 Hz vertical with my external monitor below: I have to choose below because otherwise I do not have 3D support any more Please integrate xrandr in sax2. -- 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.

- entered the GUI clicked on "Activate Dual Head Mode" and saved the configuration. The result is a xorg.conf with two references monitor-vga and monitor-LVDS Yes, but ...
Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 304 228 HorizSync 30-60 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "LGP 1024X768" Option "DPMS" VendorName "LG" VertRefresh 30-60 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31-50 Identifier "EXT" ModelName "1024X768@60HZ" Option "LeftOf" "EXT" Option "PreferredMode" "1024x768" VendorName "--> VESA" VertRefresh 50-60 EndSection The result is a cloned mode instead of Xinerama. Replacing Option "LeftOf" "EXT" with Option "LeftOf" "Monitor[0]" fixes the issue. -- 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.
