This one is NOT going to ever be fixed, just forget about it. What might be fixed one day is RandR support for multiple boards (!= multiple displays), and that's what you seemed to be talking about earlier, that's what #443274 is about.

Hi, RandR 1.2 is not a sufficent replacement for Xinerama. I need dualhead with 2 graphics cards, which is is not possible with RandR 1.2. It is a planned feature of RandR 1.3 AFAIK. And from my understanding, even if RandR 1.3 is supported by the Intel driver in the future, it requires the other card's driver to also support RandR 1.3. As long as this isn't implemented, Xinerama is still the only way to get dual head using more than one card. Regards, Tino -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#444433: xserver-xorg-video-intel: Xinerama and Dualhead won't work with new intel driver (old i810 worked)
Package: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Version: 2:2.1.1-4
Severity: normal
Since using the newer video-intel driver i can't get my external monitor
to work. Either in dualhead nor in xinerama i can start X.
That's what I got (last lines of my Xorg.1.log):
II) intel(0): Continuing with default 262144kB VideoRam instead of 13 kB.
(II) intel(0): Kernel reported 488960 total, 14474 used
(II) intel(0): I830CheckAvailableMemory: 1897944 kB available
(**) intel(0): VideoRam: 262144 KB
(II) intel(0): Attempting memory allocation with tiled buffers and
large DRI memory manager reservation:
(II) intel(1): Allocating 0 scanlines for pixmap cache

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
The problem seems to be in i830_memory.c
At line 429 you see:
...
for (scan = pI830-memory_list; scan-next != NULL; scan = scan-next) {
mem-offset = ROUND_TO(scan-end, alignment);
if ((flags NEED_PHYSICAL_ADDR) mem-offset pI830-stolen_size) {
...
This works perfectly for the first display but when the memory for the second
should
be allocated pI830-memory_list is NULL
Hope I get some help 'cause I'm not that deep in it to know where the
problem is.

Simon
