Hi all,

I don't know if some of you use the dual display (like M$) but I was working on my box for at least 2 days until yesterday. I finally got the 2nd monitor as an extension of my primary monitor. I know that for sure 'cause I can move my mouse and any windows. I also can see any windows on the desktop switcher.

The problem is that I see all the content of the primary monitor like it was a mask except that I can click on it.

Here's my box info:

  • motherboard: A7N8X-8
  • video card: ATI Radeon 9250 (dual head)
  • CPU: AMD Sempron +2400

I know there some issues about ATI/NVIDIA during my google search. This is what I've done so far:

  • NVIDIA grapic driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run
  • ATI graphic driver: fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm (but uninstalled for debugging)

A special attention was made with ATI. When I installed this ATI driver and user fglrxconfig, their XF86Config-4 didn't work thus generating an error:

  • (WW) no matching device (BUSID: 2:0:1) found... (something like this)

which I modified my original XF86Config.

Now my main concern is the glx/fglrx. Befor all this, I launch glxgears which worked until I install the ATI driver (fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm). I could see the 2 gears rolling (I think glxgears is something to show my 3D rendering). Now, either I user glxgears or fglrxinfo, I get this error:

The glx modules is loaded in my XF86Config. Maybe it's not launch at startX...maybe. Here's a part of my XF86Config:

___________________________________________________________________________

Section "ServerFlags"

#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)

#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)

AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work

Option "Xinerama" #"false" # Big Desktop Mode

EndSection

Section "Module"

Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension

Load "v4l" # Video for Linux

Load "extmod"

Load "type1"

Load "freetype"

Load "glx" # Sould load on startX

Load "dri" # direct rendering

#Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a" # Dont Exist on my box

EndSection

And this is my /etc/modprobe.preloads:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] song]$ more /etc/modprobe.preload

# /etc/modprobe.preload: kernel modules to load at boot time.

#

# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are

# to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with

# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

# this file is for module-init-tools (kernel 2.5 and above) ONLY

# for old kernel use /etc/modules

Question

How can I get my glxgears back?

TIA
