Bug#422777: bug #422777 prematurely closed? [again]

If it isn't solved, then you might have had 2 problems in the beginning, and only one of them got fixed in xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.19x. But the thing is that MergedFB doesn't matter anymore now (it has already been removed IIRC). Upstream developers released a new largely-reworked driver with support for randr-1.2. It means that now you can enable/disable/resize/move multiple outputs at runtime with xrandr without configuring anything in xorg.conf (except from a Virtual line to create a large virtual screen where outputs will be placed). See http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/9846.html for some help. There are no packages for this new ATI driver on powerpc yet. So it'd be easier to build it manually. See http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html and replace 'intel' with 'ati'. Once it is installed, move your xorg.conf away, the server should be able to start without any config, and your old config would probably confuse it. Let me know if you need help.

* Eldon Koyle [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-07-09 07:35]: Felix, I noticed that your xorg.conf looked a bit unusual for using MergedFB. I have attached mine as an example. Basically, if you are using mergedfb you only define the card once, and you only define one display. If you are not using mergedfb, then set 'MergedFB' to false. If you want the display cloned, you would specify MetaModes the way you have it: 1024x768. If you want to have a larger desktop, specify a MetaMode like 1024x768-1024x768 and specify an orientation (CRT2Position). See the 'radeon' manpage for more information on various options. Interesting. I never really read the docs properly, I just skimmed them [= man radeon] and followed the instructions at [http://ozlabs.org/~jk/docs/mergefb/], which worked just fine. When I have the time, I'll take a look at your xorg.conf [and the man page] and try to get things working. [right now, I have a lot of work to do and really need my second monitor.] - Felix -- Felix C.
