Hi Stefan, you wrote: . . .
I've installed the radeonhd driver with Yast from the repository above. 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 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'.
