Hi Stefan, you wrote: . . .
I've installed the radeonhd driver with Yast from the repository
A first attempt to configure my dual head with sax2 brought the same bad results as before. So: what must I do for configuring it right? The wiki doesn't say anaythingt to the configuration, or at least I don't understand it at all. Must I remove the ATI driver if I've installed
above. the
radeonhd? If yes, what can I use instead of aticonfig? I Like to use aticonfig, because this brought better results then Sax2. Sax2 gives me my second monitor only in a resolution of 1024x786, aticonfig does 1280x1024. However, using aticonfig the display doesn't fit onto my monitor display... The best for me would be some suggestions what I should change in the xorg.conf listed below,in order to get in correct:
First Monitor IBM LCD 1680x1050, 15 Inches Second Monitor: DELL 1907 FPT 1280x1024, 19 Inches
Hoping for a lot of helpful answers :-)
Please uninstall the fgrlx driver including the aticonfig tool. If you use the RPMs from the openSUSE buildservice you can just run 'sax2 -r'. This will generate a single head configuration. To this single configuration (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) add
Virtual 2960 1050
to the appropriate 'SubSection "Display"' in 'Section "Screen"', probably the one with colordepth 24. Then you can use xrandr later for dynamically configure your desktop.
xrandr --output <output1> --left-of <output2>
Check the output names by running xrandr without any options first. This is also described in '9.5. How do I set up multiple monitors?' on
There seems pt be a misunderstanding. I don't want to have to different destops. Waht I like to have is Dual head mode, but the second monitor should be a clone of the first one, with a resolution lesser then teh laptops TFT. Such a configuration is also very important (and common) if you like to access a beamer.
Then it's even easier. You don't need the Virtual keyword for xorg.conf and can just call 'xrandr --auto'.
I fear I am a real dummy in using xrandr :-(
Running xrandr --auto even in verbose mode doesn't do anything.
After invoking sax my laptops TFT display is perfect, on my DELL, however my dektop doesn't fit on the Display, and (even worse) I cant move around :-(
Cheers

P.S. Her my xorg.conf. What do I need to add where???
The config looks fine. I think it's time now to subscribe to radeonhd ML, so the remaining issues can be resolved.
