Libhal is only used to set the modes. The only reason that they keep it proprietary is that if you have access to the source to libhal, you can also turn off macrovision protection for the DVD decoder. There is work being done to ignore the need for libhal, but I am not certain at what point it is at. Again the DVD copy protection scam has unintended consiquences. Sigh.

My Xserver sees both screens (it's showing a screen size of 2880: 1600 + 1280) but it does not actually display on the second monitor. Anyone got this mode working? Not on Cooker, but on 4.0.3 built from source. BTW, there is a REAL nasty little bug that is going to hit you unless the code is patched. (It has been in the CVS tree on XFree86.org, but it was found after the 4.0.3 release.) If you run dual screen and XScreensaver runs "interference", "Deluxe", or "Compass" the X client will heave with a signal 11 leaving no core file, no horse, and no mustache. I have not had a chance to test the patch. (It is not very big. About 5 lines get moved down a bit in one file.) I will get you the patch after I have had a chance to test it or you can look at the cvs. If you need a working XF86Config, here you go... # File generated by xf86config. # # Copyright (c) 1999 by The XFree86 Project, Inc. # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
