[e-users] Entrance with ATI Drivers and BigDeskop Mode
Hi all, Have got a baffling issue with the two computers I use. Both are almost identically set up, only differences being that one is a laptop with a pentium m chip and the other one is a dual core pentium D intel machine. Each one is running gentoo, both have just been upgraded to use modular xorg 7.0 and have been testing each with almost idential xorg.conf files that utilise the ATI driver in bigdesktop mode (as opposed to dual head). The only difference in the xorg files is the secondary monitor resolutions (primary is autodetected). Entrance however, does two completely different things. On the laptop, its perfect. The entrance login screen only shows up on one monitor at a time and it will follow the mouse from one monitor to the next. On the pentium D machine, the entrance login screen just shows up stretched over both monitors. Is this a pentium D idiosyncracy or am I missing something here?

Re: [e-users] Entrance with ATI Drivers and BigDeskop Mode
Hmm, thanks for the pointer. Been playing around with it a bit. Actually only just noticed that if I move my mouse pointer to the second screen, entrance calls its resizing callback (in client/main.c) which manages to grab all the correct xinerama parameters and the display manager redraws both monitors separately and functions as it should thereafter (login screen only fills one monitor and it follows the mouse from one monitor to the other). So its just not picking up xinerama parameters when initially displaying the graphics. Since the ATI driver provides its own internal xinerama extension, I wonder if its just a difference being caused by the 64 bit ati driver as opposed to the 32 bit one. Anyone using entrance on amd64 with ati drivers here? I also tried gdm. It works fine - maybe it takes a little longer before requesting xinerama parameters? Might give the radeon driver a whirl tonight and see if that works on both systems. Cheers, Daniel.
