Created attachment 13709 [details] [review] X Conf file This should be work better in ati git master. We are not yet able to reliably do ddc on rs4xx chips, so the default was to light up the port. In ati git master this is only done as a last resort so VGA shouldn't light up by default. I'm not sure how kde decides what should be the "primary" screen, but your best bet is probably to mess with your kde config. The laptop panel by default will be driven by crtc0 which is what most GUIs consider the "primary" desktop, perhaps kde has reversed logic? BTW, this will also work: xrandr --output VGA-0 --off Thanks for the very fast reply! :-D Well, I tried to set up the xrandr command in the xinitrc, but that didn't cut it. I'll try to check with KDE and maybe give a try to the git driver. you can also add this line to your VGA monitor section to default the monitor to off: Option "Enable" "FALSE" OK, I'm sorry, it seems that for some reason, KDE4 kept memorized the positions of taskbar according to the occasion when I started X with apparently two screens. Removing the settings in .kde dir made everything back to normal so I suppose that either the "Enable" option for the monitor or the xrandr has done the trick OK, and that there was no real X bug. So I suppose you can close this bugreport and sorry for the bother. |

Created attachment 13708 [details] Xorg Log output Hi! I use a Slackware current on a MSI S270 laptop, and recently upgraded the Xserver to 1.4.0.90 and the ATI driver to 6.7.197. I also upgraded to a self-compiled KDE4. At first, when I started X, it seemed like two desktops were drawn on top of the other, the one receiving the KDE taskbar seeming to use a 1024x768 output while the LCD seems to display a 1280x800 screen underneath. Looking at the Xorg.0.log file, I saw that both VGA-0 and LVDS were using the same monitor entry in the xorg.conf. After googling and fiddling with xorg.conf options, I finally managed to bind the VGA-0 output and the LVDS to a specific monitor entry in the xorg.conf. The problem is that apparently the VGA-Output seems still to be considered primary, and the LVDS secondary, as KDE still doesn't set the taskbar on the Panel display. It seems, according to the Xorg.0.log file, that the driver considers that there is a VGA output (while no screen is actually attached) : (II) RADEON(0): Added native panel mode: 1280x800 (II) RADEON(0): Total number of valid Screen mode(s) added: 0 (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 connected (II) RADEON(0): Output LVDS connected (II) RADEON(0): Output S-video disconnected (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using initial mode 1024x768 (II) RADEON(0): Output LVDS using initial mode 1280x800 And obviously, it sets up the resolution accordingly. It sets it up on Port 0, which seems to determine it as the primary : (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using monitor section VGA (**) RADEON(0): Option "RightOf" "LCD" (II) RADEON(0): I2C bus "MONID" initialized. (II) RADEON(0): Output LVDS using monitor section LCD (II) RADEON(0): Panel ID string: AU B121EW01 1280x800WXGA (II) RADEON(0): Panel Size from BIOS: 1280x800 (II) RADEON(0): BIOS provided dividers will be used. (WW) RADEON(0): LVDS Info: XRes: 1280, YRes: 800, DotClock: 68900 HBlank: 128, HOverPlus: 8, HSyncWidth: 48 VBlank: 16, VOverPlus: 2, VSyncWidth: 3 (II) RADEON(0): Output S-video has no monitor section (II) RADEON(0): Default TV standard: NTSC (II) RADEON(0): TV standards supported by chip: NTSC (II) RADEON(0): Port0: Monitor -- AUTO Connector -- VGA DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC TMDS Type -- None DDC Type -- MONID (II) RADEON(0): Port1: Monitor -- AUTO Connector -- Proprietary/LVDS DAC Type -- None TMDS Type -- None DDC Type -- None Best regards,
