1) You obviously didn't configure your Screen using sax2 with external output selected.
I don't understand this. Is "external output" a checkbox? If so I can't find it.
It's called 'Activate Dual Head Mode'. Configure it to clone mode. Given you want to use the external output in higher resolutions as well, it might be that the resulting xorg.conf might need some tweaking before it shows 1600x1200, as this is largely untested.
If you read the initial request you'd see that the problem was/is that in earlier Suses I could just hit FN+F7 to get output on the projector. If
This only worked by accident and was never ever supported. Maybe it will be in future driver versions, but regarding the radeon driver I doubt it.
you/Suse has changed this behaviour. fine. I just want to know _how_ to go about getting this to work smoothly.
We didn't change anything. The driver is developed upstream, by a bunch of people who don't have any chipset documentation as well. So a feature like this that is *extremely* laptop/vendor dependent cannot really be supported. If you install SL10.1 or up on a laptop the default configuration already has dual head support activated and should work out-of-the-box. As the original bug (FN+xx doesn't work) is basically INVALID (never worked reliably, never was supported), I'm closing this one. This is actually a FAQ. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
