The Freedesktop group is currently implementing Plug and Play support for the radeonhd driver. This is basically a good thing. However it does not work yet as expected - my attached/internal screen stays black, my external screen is out of sync. The basic rescue action is to use framebuffer mode instead of radeonhd by copying /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. However this will still trigger a regression since xrandr does not recognize my external monitor this way and hence no xinerama support is given. For the usage of xinerama mode or just for faster graphics rendering (radeonhd instead of slow framebuffering) you may want to downgrade you radeonhd from Milestone 7 to Milestone 6 so that it becomes usable again. I have created an own x86_64 - xorg-ancient repo for this purpose: zypper ar http://repos.elstel.com/xorg-anc Xorg-anc zypper mr -p 20 Xorg-anc zypper dup -r Xorg-anc As things look now it may come the way that there will never again be given good Xinerama support by radeonhd as Novell and the FreeDesktop group are planning to fully drop xorg.conf and all its configuration options. Preconfiguring screen orientation (left/right), screen size (font size!) and the primary screen is a task that can only be done by an appropriate xorg.conf. Alternative desktop environments will perhaps never present xrandr-workarounds to emulate some of that functionality. If you are interested in ongoing xinerama support (with full xorg.configurability) you should give your vote at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18592 and at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539004. **** Please let me know if anyone still has an i586 installation image of milestone 6! People using radeonhd will be thankful to have rescue-packages for Xorg. *** A copy of this message should be available at http://suse.elstel.com/radeonhd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
