[opensuse] Display problem
Hi, I installed OS 13.1 on my laptop. The last hurdle is my display-setup : I'm using a docking station which has a number of display-connections besides mouse keyboard etc. The previous OS was opensuse 12.2. There I used a display-port connection to have an extra monitor. I could use the external monitor without opening the laptop. I was using the amd-drivers. With opensuse 13.1 that's not working. I can't use the amd-drivers because my display-card is not supported anymore (laptop is less than 3 years old !). I'm using the radeon drivers. The monitor is detected (see bottom : xrandr outputs) but there is no image. When I try with the laptop open, it seems there is extra space on the desktop because when I move my mouse it disappears and I have to move it considerably to have it back. I tried with a VGA-cable on the same monitor, then I do have an image on the extra display. I prefer the display-port though. Anything I can do ? I tried making an xorg.conf, but then I don't have a graphical screen at all. xrandr output enclosed (first os12.2, later os13.1 displayport then os 13.1 vga). lspci : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Try harder. :-) I got my rv380 X600 Radeon to work using these: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-radeon-vga1600x1200left-dvi1920... http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-radeon-vga1600x1200under-dvi160... http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/xorg.conf-radeon-vga1600x1200under-dvi192... Hopefully they can serve as a guide to getting your RV710/M92 to work using a config file. Be sure you have no conflicting uncommented lines in X11/xorg.conf.d/50-*.conf if using X11/xorg.conf. If using KDE, you might need to disable KScreen. I do via kdedrc via this entry: [Module-kscreen] autoload=false If using KDE, you might do well to try using KScreen (via systemsettings display configuration) instead of xorg.conf or xrandr. FWIW, your Xorg.0.log attached as only a useless 2 bytes. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
