Description Adr3nal D0S 2007-12-06 07:52:49 UTC
I have the xf86-video-ati driver setup to run on two monitors. But, VGA-0 never displays anything only LVDS does. This happens with both the 6.7.196 driver and a driver built from git commit 21ed435, which was the most recent when I tested this.

Do both heads come up ok if you don't specify a position in your config?  How about if you turn the VGA port off and on?
xrandr --output VGA-0 --off
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x1200

Position?  If you mean the viewport setting, I removed that and it had no effect.

No effect.

I should have mentioned in the original bug that 'xrandr ... --off' does cut the signal to my monitor.  Using '--auto' or '--mode', the OSDs info "tab" will show the set resolution.  But, nothing shows up on the screen.

Can you try again with ati git master?

Thank you.  This has corrected the problem.  My VGA-0 now displays content.
