problem with randr on HP Compaq 6910p laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon x2300
Hi, I want to report a problem with randr not detecting second monitor plugged in. executing (with second monitor connected to VGA port): xrandr -q gives: Screen 0: minimum 1440 x 900, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 900 default connected 1440x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1440x900 60.0* Output of rhd_conntest: ----------------------- with second monitor ---------------------- [root@localhost ~]# rhd_conntest 01:00:00 -d rhd_conntest: version 0.0.2, built from git branch fedora/snapshot, commit 6f1800ca.. + fedora Checking connectors on 0x7188, 0x103C, 0x30C1 (@01:00:00): Load Detection: RHD_OUTPUT_DACA HotPlug: RHD_HPD_NONE DDC: RHD_DDC_0 RHD_DDC_2 LVDS Info: 18bits, dual link, LDI Panel found.

We also need your Xorg.0.log, best with -logverbose 7 and second monitor
attached.

BTW - this always indicates that no driver-level RandR is active - this
is the server-side RandR 1.1 version reporting, and that was only
capable of working with a single screen anyway. Version 0.0.2 of our
driver didn't have RandR support yet.

OK. Got 1.0.0 version and now dualhead RandR works perfectly :) This server side RandR reported in Xorg.0.log made me beliving that's all of RandR stuff needed to make it work. Thank you very much for your help. Do you have plans about implementing RandR rotation? I also tried also attaching two external monitors (via docking station with one VGA and one DVI port). Clone mode works but when I try to set multihead it states that it lacks CRTCs. I found on the web that disabling SVIDEO output (xrandr --output TV_SVIDEO --off) should help by freeing one CRTC but it did not. Is it a radeonhd, RandR or hardware limitation?

Yes, soon.

Cannot say without your Xorg.0.log or 'xrandr --prop' output. But it
could be that both ports are attached to the same output, then only
clone is possible.
Disabling TV doesn't help, because
a) we don't support TV at all yet.
b) on Radeon hardware detection of TV should always be possible, unlike
with Intel hardware.

It looks like the outputs differ (attachment) and I can turn off single port on docking station without turning of another. Krzysztof

Ah. So this is a DVI-D only. Ok, I assume you do not have a recent
xrandr installed - I fixed several bugs in it in November, so you have
to fetch a recent git version.
