xorg.conf.xinerama
Start command was:
startx -- -config xorg.conf.xinerama -layout work -dpi 100
is this still a problem with xrandr 1.2 or xinerama on a more recent version of the driver? A quick test with xorg 1.4.2 and xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 shows that xinerama still fails. Now with a Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting xrandr 1.2 work fine, however. I'll do additional testing later. Hi. I'm not sure if this relates with the same problem but I think I'm experiencing the same issue. I've tried posting directly to the mailing list but I got no response so far -- maybe because my email address is from yahoo.fr and I know there had been some issues with Yahoo. I've experienced such an issue on Gentoo Linux with xf86-video-ati-6.9.x and Xorg server >= 1.4 (IIRC) and on Ubuntu 8.10. When X starts on my laptop *and* an external monitor is plugged in (either VGA or DVI), both screens start all black, no image is displayed. Switching to a console doesn't even work. I have to power off and restart my laptop. The machine reacts to keyboard input (at least Caps lock and Num lock) but I can't see anything else on any monitor. OTOH starting running xrandr *after* plugging an external monitor does produce the expected results. It means I must plug my external monitor *after* X starts. That issue never happened with radeonhd driver. This issue hasn't disappeared with the latest xf86-video-ati6.10.x. Sorry I forgot to add my video card is a Radeon Mobility X1400. Isn't this bug duplicate of #18104? Bug #16781 seems to report the same kinds of issues. Comment #3 from paul describes exactly the same situation as mine. Created attachment 22958 [details]
Xorg log file with all monitors turned black
Here's a log while I plugged a second monitor to my laptop's DVI connector. This is really getting annoying.
Can you try with the radeon driver from git master? (In reply to comment #10) > Can you try with the radeon driver from git master? > It works as I also replied in my comment on bug 18104 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18104#c29 Thanks a lot for the work. |
