Mach' doch mal egrep 'WW|EE|Using' /var/log/Xorg.0.log Dann siehst Du, welches Konfigfile er benutzt (da mal reingucken, ob das die Werte enthaelt, die Du angegeben hast) und ob/welche Probleme es gibt.

Re: [suse-xfree86] dual head breaks with 10 (and 9.3 and 9.2..)

Matthias Hopf wrote: > Will do. Though I don't have any register documentation, so I have to > wait for patches from upstream. Well, I've been wrestling with this still, just can't let go of it. I was able to successfully build a dual-head configuration file that is functional. It is not perfect, but it works for now. I'm using the merged framebuffer solution rather then xinerama. My main gripe is that I can't get my two monitors to the resolution I'd like. The primary is running at 1024x768 but can do 1280x1024. My second monitor will do at least 1600x???? What I would like is a configuration that runs my primary at 1280x1024 and doesn't scroll. I can't seem to get it past 1024x768. Right now I've got a bit of a scroll. The worse thing about that is that when I scroll down, I get a vertical bar that's about an inch wide that flashes across the screen. Ugly. I figured I'd post the relevant portions of the config file for the archives. Do you think I should still file a bug on the xinerama approach? Here's the relevant config stuff: Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 375 305 # HorizSync 30-81 # analog HorizSync 30-63 # digital Identifier "Samsung" ModelName "910T" Option "DPMS" VendorName "Samsung" VertRefresh 56-75 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "mergedfb screen" Device "Radeon mergedfb" Monitor "Samsung" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "RV280 5961" BusID "AGP:3:0:0" Driver "radeon" Identifier "Radeon mergedfb" Option "MergedFB" "True" Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50-180" Option "CRT2HSync" "28-127" Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf" Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS,CRT" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "off" Screen "mergedfb screen" EndSection -- Until later, Geoffrey

Ok, the short term solution is to change all 'vga=XYZ' to 'vga=normal' in /boot/grub/menu.lst. That will disable the framebuffer console on the next reboot. For the long term solution, please open a bug report on http://www.opensuse.org/ and assign it directly to me (mhopf(a)novell.com). I don't think we will commit much time into this (as there is an easy workaround), but I would like to track the information and whether the problem is solved in later SUSE Linux releases. Please attach all information that is noted on http://www.opensuse.org/Bugs:X I will add the workaround myself.

dual head breaks with 10 (and 9.3 and 9.2..)
by Geoffrey 28 Oct '05

28 Oct '05

Dual head functioning in 9.1,9.2,9.3 as follows: ati 9200 with dvi and vga outputs. 19" samsung syncmaster 910t digital lcd 22" viewsonic p225f pro crt I've had a dual head configuration working since 9.1. I've upgraded thsi same box through 9.2 and 9.3. Each time I had to use the old config file from 9.1 to get my dual head configuration working again. I just upgraded this same box to 10 and I can not get my dual head configuration working now. Worse, it appears that sax2 has removed much of the functionality of the previous versions. In previous versions, I could add/delete a particular video card. With 10, I have no such option. It identifies the proper card, ati 9200, but does not see the second output. The only way I can get sax2 to 'see' two video is to manually edit the xorg.conf file. I'm up to it, but can't get it to work. After fighting with it for a while, it suddenly properly identifies my samsung monitor and I have finally got it to properly recognize the viewsonic, yet when X starts, the secondary monitor (viewsonic) does not get a signal. The only warnings I receive in the log file are: (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory) . . (WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled . . I assume the last one might have something to do with it, although when the box starts up, the console is displayed on the secondary (viewsonic) monitor. When X runs, it's on the primary (samsung). Any suggestions would be wonderful. -- Until later, Geoffrey

Suse 10 and X-Windows/Sax2 Problems
by Anette Seiler 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Hi all! After successfully installing Suse 10 on my Averatec Notebook, I installed Suse 10 on my Dell Latitude CPx (Pentium III) Notebook. The installation went without any problems. But when I started the new system on the Dell, all troubles began. Instead of getting the normal splash screen that, after a while, opens the KDE system, I get a black screen, that slowly gets grey-white. It is as if something is burning up the monitor from the left bottom corner. Later pink and blue vertical stripes appear and the normal chimes that KDE has started. I cannot see anything. I first thought, that I had configured the graphics hardware wrongly. I installed Suse again - same results. Then I started Suse in Failsafe Mode. After I logged in and entered "starx" X-Windows and KDE started as they always do. I left X-Windows and started sax2 and could configure X as normal. I made sure that all the settings were right (of course they were, as in Failsafe Mode I had no problems with X). Then I restarted in Normal mode. I still have the same problem with X-Windows. When I start sax2 the same happens. When I start Yast and try to configure the display, the same happens. If it would not work in Failsafe mode, I would say, that I had a driver problem or something like that. But it must be something else causing the problem. What could that be? Kind regards Anette Seiler

Suse 10.0: VNC Problem running multiple X-Servers
by Hannes Edinger 26 Oct '05

26 Oct '05

Hello! On my SuSE 10.0 box I'm running multiple X-Servers parallely (one instance on VT7 and another one on VT8). As Desktop manager I use KDM, so this was done by simply adding one more static Server in my kdmrc. Until this point everything works fine, but trying to make these two displays remotely controllable by enabling the option "Allow Access to Display using VNC Protocol" in SaX2 results in the following problem: After Booting I'm switched to the display on VT8 (not VT7 as usual) where I find a KDM login screen. Trying to switch to VT7 by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7 results in a black screen with ablinking bar cursor in the upper left corner - no X Display there! :-( Switching back to another VT is not possible because there is no response on any input from the keyboard any longer. Logging in on VT7 via VNC does not work, while VT8 is acassible via VNC as expected. How can I make both of the Displays available via VNC? Regards, Hannes
