Ubuntu Hardy/Gutsy: xrandr recognizes the correct modes, but when activating vga-0, the monitor stays black (the led switches on, like it was getting a signal) Debian testing/unstable/(ati-driver: experimental/git 6.7.198*): same as above, additionally modes are not recognized. A super-friendly person from IRC (bg***in @#debian-x/oftc.net) tried to solve the problem and adviced me to remove some options. Therfor I will post 2x my xorg.conf and xorg.log: my xorg.conf (before): -------------------------- Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:5:0" Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "AGPFastWrite" "On" Option "EnablePageFlip" "On" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "dri" EndSection Section "DRI" Mode 0666 EndSection my xorg.log (before) --------------------------- http://91.121.73.90/debian/xorg_log_before.txt xorg.conf (after) ------------------------- Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility U1" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:5:0" Option "AGPMode" "4" # Option "AGPFastWrite" "On" # Option "EnablePageFlip" "On" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "VGA-0" Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028$ #-HSync +Vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00" EndSection xorg.log (after) ------------------------------ http://91.121.73.90/debian/xorg_log_after.txt
Did this ever work in the past? There were several IGP cards where dualhead never worked correctly.

Try again with ati git master.
(In reply to comment #3) > Try again with ati git master. > as I made a clean/fresh reinstall of debian unstable, I noticed that xrandr in unstable suddenly recognized the (correct) modes of my connected 2nd monitor. The new driver version did not work for me. The Screen still stays black (although this time, the Led is blinking which some how indicates wrong/no-input) Just being curious I ran glxgears and got approx 1000 fps, with the older driver I get only 650fps - but I don't know if there is a connection.

Is this still an issue with a newer driver (6.9.0 or newer)?
yes, I tested it recently again with the newest version of Ubuntu (8.10). Monitor is being recognized, and I can activate, but the screen remains black. (via gui-tool and cl xrandr) I assigend 128MB (shared memory) to the graphic-card to be sure this is not a memory issue. But I am not using that notebook any more productive (due to that issue), so I am gladly to help for testing new drivers - if needed/required :) Thanks for still being active with this ticket :)
Is this still an issue with kms or newer versions of the driver?
