Hi, I have used nvidia cards before. I decided to try radeon because reputed better support :(
I tried the radeon driver. in X got only duplicate copies of the same screen on both monitors. xrandr only reported a single Screen stanza. However what is nice is that with radeon during boot up to console mode before starting startx I get nice small fonts similar to framebuffer on bootup into old nvidia using nouveau module. thus with the radeon driver using the stock 3.2.0-4 kernel only get duplicate data on my two monitors which is awful, also very slow glxgears, and nice framebuffer on console so now using the fglrx module I get nice hardware acceleration ie glxgears goes 40x faster than on radeon driver i get nice dual monitor setup using expanded virtual screen and using xrandr to place the two screen stanzas DFP5 and DFP7 however when I do alt-ctl F2 i have really ugly console with ugly fonts because the radeon driver is banned. what to do to get a nice console framebuffer on the tty's??? thanks mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
