3 screen with 3 radeon cards
I have a setup whith 3 radeon 4350 cards. To each of the cards I have connected a screen. During the last weekend I have been battleing the xorg.conf trying to setup my cards/screens and fail. It seems whatever I do I can only get something on one screen (always the same card and same output method (DVI). I have heard (on the IRC channel) that the drives do not have support fore more than one card. Is that true? It it is true can we then expect that feature to be implemented "soon"? It the drives have the feature is there someone who can help me with getting my xorg.conf to work?

I don't believe the current drivers support >1 card. Depending on what distro you run, the fglrx driver may be your best option for now. It provides accelerated support on up to 4 cards, as long as you configure it properly at the start (something like "aticonfig --initial --adapters=all -f") -----Original Message----- From: Jonas Vejlin [mailto:jonas.vejlin@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009 11:12 AM To: radeonhd@opensuse.org Subject: [radeonhd] 3 screen with 3 radeon cards I have a setup whith 3 radeon 4350 cards.

I am running debian Sid and have been playing around with the fglrx
driver and the 2 d part is so slow that is useless.
So my option is either the ati or radeon hd driver, sit back and wait
for support or donate my cards to someone who can use it and by some
nvidia cards and use nvidia driver

Multi-GPU support was removed from RandR 1.3 during development (due to its complexity) and I don't think there has been anything >1.3 yet. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas E.

They still don't? I thought that was supposed to be one of the things RandR 1.2+ support brought? Cheers, -- Thomas E. Spanjaard tgen@netphreax.net tgen@deepbone.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
