Hi
I bought a ATEN (http://www.aten.com.tw) multimonitor switch in order to
have multiple PCs on one screen.
Then I connected my Suse 9.3 box , which was connected over the DVI port
of the grafics card, to the switch
an the trouble began.
The Mouse and keyboard are recognised as follows.
input: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [ATEN CS-1734A V1.2.113] on
usb-0000:00:10.1-2.1
input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [ATEN CS-1734A V1.2.113] on
usb-0000:00:10.1-2.1
Some facts:
a) If I boot and the LCD is only connected over the VGA port.
1) Its still possible to use Virtual Text consoles over the
kb/mouse/monitor switch.
2) virtual console 7 is just blank over VGA cable (which should the
xdm login)
b) If i boot and the LCD is connected over the DVI Port everything is fine.
So the question is:
*What is nec. in order to get X11 working over the analog port ?
A new configuration was tried several times over init level 3 and with a
sax2 -r*

It seems that the radeon chip does not detect the VGA monitor correctly. You can try Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT" in the driver section. If you want to be able to use both DVI and VGA, try Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,TMDS" and all according dual layout options (MergedFB, CRT2Position, CRT2HSync, CRT2VRefresh, MetaModes) as shown in the radeon manual page.
b) If i boot and the LCD is connected over the DVI Port everything is fine.
It seems that the box is putting through DDC signals from the DVI port,
but not from the VGA port, or it doesn't put through any signals and the
card defaults to DVI.
