reopen 236197 tag 236197 = upstream help severity 236197 normal retitle 236197 xserver-xfree86: [ati/radeon] dual-head sometimes inoperative (affected by dual-booting Windows 98) on Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] rev 0 thanks On Mon, Mar 08, 2004 at 04:35:41PM -0500, Miguel Marques wrote: Greetings...

I don't understand what the difference is since nothing else has changed (other than any libraries upgraded in between). Both me and someone fairly knowledgeable on Debian restarted the server several times when the problem occured and tried several XF86Config-4 changes to no avail. The only thing that comes to mind is that this machine gets rebooted to Windows 98 occasionally and perhaps the card was left in some strange state after I booted back into Linux. I did boot back into Windows 98 yesterday and today things are working again.=20 =20 In any case sorry for wasting everyone's time on this. No problem; it's good to have this information archived (both in the BTS and on our mailing list), as it may prove useful to others in the future. Closing as unreproducible per submitter. That figures (I really hate that Murphy guy) ;-). Just before I actually run into the problem again and submitted more information and a workaround. You may want to reopen with a lower priority (since I can just power off after whatever happened when I upgrade) and I'm available for any testing (assuming I can get it to happen again :-( ) if you need it. Thanks! Doing so. Thanks for following up. -- G.
