Did this ever work in the past? There were several IGP cards where dualhead never worked correctly. (In reply to comment #1) > Did this ever work in the past?

(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.

*** Bug 8274 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 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? Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid. Please reopen this bug or file a new report if you continue to experience issues with current releases. |

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.
