Hi,
I try to set up an external display for my Dell laptop + Dell monitor.
My first attempt was to use the sax suggestion, but this does not work.
The monitor says: This mode cannot be displayed. Sax configured dual
head and has a 1920x1200 modeline and the laptop display works fine, but
the external display does not show anything. Sax used the radeon driver.
Some time ago I found a web site giving advice on this issue and they
suggested using the "ati" driver that comes with xorg. I have an old
xorg.conf and this also works with SuSE 10.1.
However the picture is not very sharp. I want to use the DVI connection
to the screen to improve this. I have a docking station that provides a
DVI port, but I do not know how to enable the DVI output.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and greetings
Stefan

hi list,
can someone explain to me where the drm kernel driver gets loaded ?
(somewhere while X11 starts, i know)
I have the problem that some freak loads the i915 driver but i have
i830 chipset. More strange the i915 driver gets used (and can not do
much sich this is the wrong chipset) and the manualy loaded i830 driver
is marked unused (as seen with lsmod).
Where should i report ? xorg ? SuSE ? DRI-ml ?
System: notebook with SuSE 10.1

I was about to make the same point myself, however, I think there is
still a problem with the modeline generated by sax2.
401.86 MHz / 2240 = 179.4 kHz horizontal frequency
179.4 kHz / 1300 = 138 Hz vertical refresh rate
These frequencies are high for most, if not all, monitors.
It strikes me that the dot clock is out by a factor of 2.
Halving it would bring the frequencies well within scope of the
monitor mentioned (which is claimed to support 160 Hz vertical
and 121 kHz horizontal and resolutions up to 1800x1440).

Hi all!
I run an Athlon PC, using SuSE 9.3.
My graphics card is a Matrox G 450 (AGP, 32 MB) with the "mga" driver.
I have two TFTs connected to it with a traditional Dual-Head setup
(independent KDE workspaces with different configurations, no Xinerama).
With this setup (no hardware changes !),
in SuSE 9.1 I could start a new session as another user, overlaying my
current one, and it was fully functional.
After the upgrade to SuSE 9.3, such a new session does not have a Window
manager running, so the windows lack their borders and title line, and
all window manager functions (resize, move, ...) are impossible to do.
Is this a known effect,
is there some setting needed in 9.3 which was implicit in 9.1,
or anything else I can do to make this work again?
Just in case someone is curious: I typically have long-running graphic
applications, so I can not start them from "screen",
but I want to give my wife access to her account with her own KDE and
applications when I make a longer break,
so I really need two different X sessions for different users, the
second one hiding the first until the second terminates.
Thanks for hints,
Jörg

I noticed something similar with on my ThinkPad when using the track point device. I enable the "EmulateWheelButton" option to allow scrolling by holding down the middle button, and moving the pointer up/down to scroll. I believe that this is something new in the version of xorg that comes with SuSE 10. Check for config file for the "EmulateWheel" and "EmulateWheelButton" options.
I have several mouse drivers setup in my xorg.conf file. The first one /dev/input/mouse0 is always the built-in track point device, and the other is for my USB scroll mouse. I CAN use my middle button on my external USB mouse; but to make this work I had to setup separate InputDevice sections.
Hopefully this is helpful or not. If you do have a setup similar to mine, I have a couple more "pointers" that may be useful. (Sorry, for the bad pun).

I've just updated the latest xorg via YaST and after restarting X, with
