After a reboot I'm having trouble getting the server to not run mergefb, or at least to do so w/o dropping down to a 640x480 screen. You can imagine how painful it is to do anything on a 640x480 when all of the apps are configured to expect a 1600x1200 display.... It looked like mergefb was defaulting to clone mode, so I tried to turn that off by specifying RightOf, and got this fun result in the Xorg.0.log: (WW) RADEON(0): "RightOf" is not a valid parameter for Option "CRT2Position" (II) RADEON(0): Valid parameters are "RightOf", "LeftOf", "Above", "Below", or "Clone" So it claims that it wants values including RightOf, but balks at that value as not valid....
(commenting out Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT" got me back my 1600x1200 display; seems a bug must have prevented that from doing anything before 6.8.99.15.) I forgot to mention that even though it complained about the RightOf, it did configure the server for a pair of displays with the crt right of the lcd. Even though there wasn't a monitor plugged into the vga port.... As this is then a cosmetic bug in the log output, I've rediced the severity to minor...
what's wrong with Option "MergedFB" "off" ?
> what's wrong with Option "MergedFB" "off" ? nothing more elaborate than a lack of installed/findable documentation. I didn't find anything relevant on the laptop, nor via google. And stopped looking when I found that commenting MonitorLayout turned it off.
this was fixed in cvs. please reopen if you are still having issues.
