Hi- I'm using the latest xrandr and radeonhd gits and I can't seem to get multiple monitors to work how I'd like. I can enable my external monitor only as a clone of the primary one- when I try to set it as a display to the left or right, X crashes. I have a Thinkpad T60 with a Mobility X1400 and run ubuntu gutsy (so it might be a problem with the xserver- it's not the current version.) Is this something that should be working and I'm not finagling it right, or do you guys want some logs? -- Timothy Reilly -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

You have to set virtual like described in the wiki, but it shouldn't crash if you don't. Can you send a stack backtrace from gdb to the list?

Well, shucks. There I go, piecing together my other machine so I can do the debugging over ssh, and then I go and actually upgrade the software and the problem goes away ;). I haven't been able to reproduce the crash and dual monitors works fine.

Have success with similar T60 under FreeBSD. Only special hint - do not use option PreferredMode in xorg.conf, it puts Xserver into infinite loop. Instead, just put xrandr call to startup scripts. relevant part of my xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" Identifier "LCD" VendorName "Samsung" ModelName "LTN150P1-L02" VertRefresh 10-300 HorizSync 10-500 Option "DPMS" # Option "PreferredMode" "1400x1050" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "ExternalLCD" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" VertRefresh 50-160 ModeLine "1280x1024" 157.50 1280 1360 1520 1728 1024 1025 1028 1072 +hsync +vsync Option "DPMS" Option "RightOf" "PANEL_LCD1/LVDS" Option "Position" "1440 0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0:main" Driver "radeonhd" Option "Monitor-PANEL_LCD1/LVDS" "LCD" Option "Monitor-VGA_CRT1/DAC_A" "ExternalLCD" Option "RROutputOrder" "PANEL_LCD1/LVDS" # workaround buggy cursor of radeonhd Option "SWcursor" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Mobility Radeon X1400" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "MainLCD" Device "Card0:main" Monitor "LCD" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 3280 1050 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection

Wasn't an issue with Xserver 1.3. Known issue with 1.4. Fixed in git.
