Re: [XFree86] External Lcd Problems with laptop! Aaaargh!
I solved the problem by installing linux again with the VESA driver instead of the trident one! (I know, reinstalling the OS is a windows thing to do, but hey! I'm new to linux!) X surely regenerated the config file this time, but what troubles me is that even in the install process, whenever i tested any resolution with the trident driver the LCD went out of sync. Could there be any issue with the trident driver or with the driver in combination with my hardware? Anyway, I know using the VESA driver isn't good performance wise, but practiclly I have not seen any noticable decrease in performance. Probably because the cyber 9388 isn't a top performer anyway! Later on I'll try the trident driver again and post any results. Right now I'm enjoying the benefits of linux too much to see it's frustrating side again!

RE: [XFree86] External Lcd Problems with laptop! Aaaargh!
Hi, thanks for the reply! I tried removing modelines but still nothing. The horizontal-vertical frequencies are out of the monitor's manual, but I also tried playing around with those settings because I read somewhere that sometimes a mode might be slightly out of those limits but still work with the monitor. I've actually seen this be done in windows with the help of the utility I downloaded (or at least I think I did, since I'm not an expert when it comes to frequencies in general!). That didn't work either. Since I am getting a video signal from the laptop though, is there anyway I can find out what resolution X is trying to bring up?

[XFree86] External Lcd Problems with laptop! Aaaargh!
Hi, I'm kinda a newbie to linux and trying to permemamtly switch to it from XP. Im using a fujitsu e342 laptop with a trident cyber 9388 graphics adaptor and running mandrake 10 on it. Here's the problem: I'm using this laptop as a desktop replacement meaning with an external monitor, external mouse, external keyboard etc. I was using an external CRT monitor (NEC multisync V521) til it died on me and it was working just fine at 1024x768 (while the laptop's internal screen supports up to 800x600). I replaced the crt with a 17 inch LCD monitor (LG 1720p) and the problems started. When I boot up Linux the external LCD goes blank at all resolutions, but when I boot up using the internal and the external screen simultaneously they both work at 800x600. O figured this is a modeline thing because I had to get a modeline from linux-on-laptops to get the crt working at 1024x768 (until then I had the same problem with the CRT if I recall correctly...) and probably the same modeline is out of range for my LCD screen. So what I did was boot with both screens at 800x600, use xvidtune to get a modeline for that resolution, add it to my XF86Config-4 file and hope I could get at least a 800x600 resolution working on my external LCD only. Weirdly enough this didn't work. Next, with the help from a utility i googled up, I got my hands on windows' parameters and computed modelines with a modeline calculator on the net. Still nothing... In all the above cases I get a signal out of range on the LCD. It seems that X is outputting some kind of signal that the LCD wont recognize. Actually if at that point I enable the internal LCD also, I'm able to get 800x600 on both screens by fiddling with alt+ctrl+plus (at least I'm sure this worked once or twice, actually never tried it again). The LCD screen in windows XP can bring up a nice [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 256 colors but I would be ok with a 1024x768 in linux. What am I doing wrong? Damn Linux, if only I didn't love thee so... I'm sending my relatively old configuration because since then I've been playing alot with my XF86Config-4 file and I'm sure I've added stuff that don't really help! Here's the XF86Config-4 file that worked with my CRT, the only changes I made to this where the horizontal-vertical frequency ranges I got from the LCD's manual and below is X's log file, thanks for your time in advance! # File generated by XFdrake. # ** # Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of # this file. # ** Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

Re: [XFree86] xfree86 4.3.0 + nvidia + 1920x1200 + LCD 230W5
helas, this line does not work for the Philips 230W5 in DVI mode (it does work in Analog mode, but it's less sharp than the digital mode) In the mean time, I figured out that the max Analog dot pixel rate is 205 MHz and the max Digital dot pixel rate is 160 Mhz (via EDID). All 'Mode line' generators seem to complain that 160 MHz is not enough to provide 1920 x 1200 (?), however the Documentation with the monitor says: Ideal resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 HZ via DVI ... I do not understand that this would work in M$-Windows (where the drivers are supplied) and not with Xfree86 :-( Any other hints or pointers on how I can configure/calculate is by hand are more than welcome.

you need to use "PCI:1:0:0" for both instances.

The secondary connector has another CRT with a DVI->VGA converter. Both of the screens display the same picture, and this has been the case from day 1.

[XFree86] radeon driver only ever uses clone mode instead of dual head
your version of xfree86 is way too old. please try with a newer version. there were quite a few bugs in the pre-4.3 version. you may need the "monitorlayout" option which wasn't added until after 4.3 was released. Also, as was poined out, you can also use mergedfb for dualhead. Alex -- Hello, I have a portable (Sony GRX316MP) which contains a Radeon 7500 mobility which has dual-head capability. I know this chip CAN handle non-cloning dual head because the X server from Xig does it (and Windows of course). But the Xig server has some problems and it seems to only support two heads in Xinerama mode; I want to have separate X displays on both heads. But whatever configuration I try in XFree86 I at the most get a cloned screen, i.e. the secondary monitor shows (part of) the primary screen. The primary screen is the laptop's LCD at [EMAIL PROTECTED], the secondary monitor is an LCD [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get the secondary screen to work at all I had to specify Option "CloneMode" "1280x1024" in the device section for the primary head, else it used the mode for the primary head regardless of the information in the Screen section and the information returned by DDC from the 2nd screen.

Thomas is right, you are probably running out of memory on 1400x1050 head. One option you have is to try the MergedFB mode available in DRI cvs (http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Download). Since both crtcs are treated as one head, the whole 16 MB is shared by both heads. all of the available offscreen memory can then be used by either head for Xv, etc. Alex __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

My video chipset is a Via/S3 chipset. It's part of the VIA KM266 on the MB Northbridge The model is S3/Pro Savage DDR-K. I have found information about a basic driver, but it doesn't seem to allow 3D ( even though this chipset is quite capable of accleration, I know since I dual boot Windos ). So far, my searching has revealed: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html#download In which the author says: VIA/S3 has release an updated version of THEIR Savage driver. It forked off of my source base about 3 years ago, so there are significant differences, but it looks like they have addressed a number of issues. This includes motion compensation support for MPEG playback (XvMC), and the long-awaited DRI driver for 3D OpenGL code. Ok, but on viaarena -- supposedly the /official/ support site for VIA/S3, they point back to probo.com (?#>#). Here's their drivers: http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=184#ProSavageDDR I wrote Via's support department, but have not heard back.

RE: [XFree86] radeon power management patches
nope. these are still patches at the moment. They'll probably be included post 4.4 after some testing. setting the option enables dynamic clock scaling. The various clocks will adjust their frequency on the fly to save power.

Re: [XFree86] Dual head display on Radeon 9800pro under FreeBSD
are you running xinerama or not? if not you can start apps on different heads by using -Display host:0.0 or 0.1 where host is the hostname of your machine. or setting the DISPLAY variable to point to whichever head you want the app to start on. see the X man page for more.

Starting x still brings up all my default apps on the rightmost screen. The only change that made was that instead of moving my mouse to the right to get the leftmost screen, I could now move the mouse to the left to get to the leftmost screen. __ Do you Yahoo!?

it seem to be an AGP problem: (WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available (EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI. (II) RADEON(0): [agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module is loaded before the radeon kernel module. it looks like you have lots of agp modules loaded (ati_agp, via_agp, sis_agp, amd_k7_agp). AGP in 2.6 is somewhat different than 2.4. rather than a single agpgart module it has an agpgart module plus various chipset specifc drivers. you need to load the one for you chipset. what chipset do you have?

Re: [XFree86] Radeon 920, hardware 3D
Like I said before: If you MB is 8x you will need to patch your 2.4 kernel with 8x support (or if you can set your BIOS to 4x only mode) or use a 2.6 kernel. once you have that done you can just use the DRI snapshots. This will allow you to use 4x mode. if you want to use 8x, you will have to apply michel/hui's, or keith's 8x patch. Alex --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I've got my new machine with the Radeon 9200.

[XFree86] Dual head display on Radeon 9800pro under FreeBSD
easy fix. change this line: Screen "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" to this: Screen "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0" Alex -- Hi all, I'm trying to get a dual headed display running on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE. My hardware is as follows: Samsung SyncMaster 171sTFT plugged into the DVI port using a converter Iiyama Vision Master Pro 410 The CRT is in the center of my desk, and the Samsung TFT is to the right of that. I want the leftmost monitor (the CRT) to be the primary screen. Under Windows, the Iiyama is the first screen and the Samsung is the second screen. This is how I want it to be. I've finally got an extended desktop setup running under XFree86, but still have one problem that I cannot resolve - Namely that my monitors are the wrong way around. When I startx from the command line, XFree86 starts, and my application run from my .xinitrc (ssh-add) appears on the TFT monitor. The mouse is also on this monitor. I want this app and the mouse to appear on the CRT if at all possible. I would like the CRT to be the primary monitor with the TFT as secondary. If anyone could shed some light on how to do this, I would be most greatful. I've tried switching card1 and card0, and also monitor1 and monitor0 around in my XF86Config file but this doesn't seem to help. My config file can be found at http://www.penguinpowered.org/wayne/XF86Config Thanks in advance, -- Wayne Pascoe If you hurt her, I'll hunt you down and kill you with a shovel...

[XFree86] Help on Video/Monitor configuration with Red Hat Linux
Well do you have an nvidia card or an ati radeon? support for both of these cards was added after 4.3 was released so you will need to either update to cvs or wait for 4.4 or maybe update to a newer redhat xfree86 rpm. the driver line in your config should read either Driver "ati" or Driver "nv" depending on which card you have.

The video card has a driver when running PC (win 2000), MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5200. It's on a separate CD. Without this driver, Win2000 won't recognize the video card either. Anyway, now I have the problem of starting X server with Linux. Linux tries to use VESA (general) without a success. Now I am trying to figure out the setting in XF86Config file. The error is 'Failed to load module "FX 5200"'. I have tried many different ways without success. Obviously redhat-config-xfree86 won't help in any way. Based on the information above, what values are for video card and monitor. Here is roughly what I have in XF86Config file. Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "VSC" ModelName "17PS" Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "FX 5200" VendorName "NVIDIA" BoardName "ATI Radeon (generic)" EndSection HELP PLEASE!!!

[XFree86] ATI Radeon M9 (Thinkpad T40) dual head config issue
first off there are a few errors in your config: remove these lines: Option "CloneMode" "1280x1024" Option "CloneHSync" "28-92" Option "CloneVRefresh" "48-85" Next this line is wrong: Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, TMDS" TMDS is for DVI ports. you want something like this: Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT" You can also try it without that line all together. Also you might try adding this to you config (both screen sections) if you want to use DDC modelines: Option "DDCMode" "true" and finally, in your serverlayout you need something like this: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen0 "Laptop LCD" Screen1 "Sony SDM-P232W/B" RightOf "Laptop LCD" InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice"Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice"DevInputMice" "AlwaysCore" EndSection Change the relationship as you see fit: LeftOf, Above, or use absolute coordinates. see the XF86Config man page for more. Since you are using such an old version of 4.3, you will also need to add option "HWcursor" "false" to your device configs otherwise your second head will turn off when you move the mouse onto it. this bug was fixed in cvs. Also right now the DRI does not work in xinerama mode. if you want 3D with dualhead you will need to use Mergedfb available in DRI cvs. http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276 Alex Hi, Sorry to bother you with a config question when I'd rather you guys spent your time building more great code ...

[XFree86] Multihead System with 2 Radeon 9100s
You might want to try with the radeon driver from cvs. some fixes for problems with multiple cards went in a while back. Alex Hello, I've been having trouble getting the stock XFree86 radeon drivers to work with multiple cards. I'm using 2 Radeon 9100 PCI video cards, one monitor each for an Xinerama setup, or at least I'm trying to. The driver works fine as long as X is only dealing with one card, but as soon as I try to get it to use two it aborts. As you can see from the log, I actually have 4 of these cards (all PCI) that I want to use ultimately in a 4 head display. The config is set up for two right now. I suspect that it's probably a build option I'm missing. The other two cards incidently are also on bus 7, devices 6 & 7. I can use any of the four cards as long as references to the other three are commented out. Thanks, Tim Mathews __ Do you Yahoo!?

[XFree86] I852/855G and widescreen support.
The problem is that the xfree86 driver relies on the video BIOS to provide the mode information. if the BIOS does not have the mode info for 1280x800 then you are out of luck. Unfortunately intel has not provided specs for setting the mode apart from the BIOS. Alex - Hi all, I've bought a laptop with Intel 852/855GM graphics chipset and a widescreen 1280x800.

[XFree86] Re: [Dri-devel] MergedFB question.
the 2048 limitation of the scissor registers can be worked around. check the dri-devel archives for messages with "2048" in the subject. basically what we need to do is look at the cliprects in the client driver and everytime they are a multiple of 2048 divide into a zone. then when you are rendering iterate over those zones. I've looked into it, but I haven't had the time dig into the DRI driver enough to fully understand how the current code works and then how best to implement this on top of it. Someday... Anyone can submit a patch if they get to it first :) Also you can run an desktop of 2560x1024 with the option "no2048limit" (I should just remove that option and just start the xserver with DRI anyway...) and 3D will work fine up to 2048. if you extend beyond 2048, then window just goes blank. Also you can specify metamodes and switch the resolution of both crtcs on the fly. also if you specify clone modes in your metamodes, you can run your desktop at 2560x1024 and then when you start a game it will select one of the clone modes using the vidmode extension and then your game will run fine in 1024x768 or 1280x1024 on both heads. really the only time you will have a problem is if you try and run a 3D window that is larger than 2048; anything smaller works fine.

I noticed that the other night as I was working on the driver, but I didn't have any content large enough to test it with. I think it might be a hold over from the old r128 driver. switch it to 2048x2048 and give it a shot. It shouldn't hurt anything. If it works we can submit a patch to get it fixed in future releases.

Alex -- Hello XFree team, I sent a mail some days ago but was not yet registerd at XFree86.Org. In the meantime, I found out that the bug disappears when the "noaccel" option is specified in XF86Config. Regards, Klaus Peichl Original mail: I have a problem with the S3 driver in XFree86 4.3.0 which was not present in XFree86 3.3.3. I have installed an S3 Trio 64 card and I am running SuSE-Linux 8.2. The S3 driver does not seem to draw sloping lines correctly. It seems that lines start at the correct position but get drawn into the wrong direction. Some programs (like MiXViews) are quite unusable. As an example, I attachd a snapshot of the color edit dialog of xv. You can see problems with the scales and outlines of arrows there. It might be only a small bug which I could maybe even fix myself, but I guess it's not feasible downloading all sources with a 56k modem, is it? I hope that someone can help me.

[XFree86] 2 Radeon cards/dual head setup problems
if you are still using 4.3.0 try a cvs snapshot. there were some fixes related to multiple cards a while back. There is also a problem that comes up sometimes where multiple cards won't post properly (related to the ROM as I recall). I'm not sure if this is causing your problem or not. Also, FWIW, the chip in your laptop/docking station can drive two monitors (LCD plus external vga port). Alex --- Hello, I am having a hard time setting up my second card on my box.

[XFree86] Radeon 9200/DVI with latest XFree86
The 9200SE cards seem to have some bandwidth issues driving large DVI displays. There are some options you can try to improve the situation: Option "DisplayPriority" "string" where string is high, auto, or bios and Option "MonitorLayout" "tmds, none" if you only have the dvi monitor attached. "tmds, crt" if you have both attached. For more info see the radeon man page: http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/mergedfb/cvs/DRI/final/radeon.4.html Another thing you might try is driving the DVI at a lower refresh rate, say 56 hz. Alex -- I recently bought a Radeon 9800 SE based card made by PowerColor (model r92le-c3s, box makred with a "SE" sticker) and a Viewsonic VX2000 LCD monitor and I can't get the DVI port to work well. I'm running RedHat 9 and with the X driver included with it and the chip id overridden to just about any known radeon card, I get no picture at all on the DVI port (though the X logs indicate that it found the monitor). Searching the mailing list archives on various places indicated that the 9200 card is not quite compatible with other radeons, so I pulled down the current XFree86 tree (as of midday 11/9) and built X from scratch. Running the resulting X server produces a image on the DVI port if I have only the DVI port connected, but either the image quality is horrible (closest approximation would be a tv screen with lots of "snow") or the picture does not appear at all. Oddly enough, if I plug the analog port in, the analog picture is fine (sans some visible ringing in the signal). The monitor and card work fine in Windows XP, so I know that both parts are properly connected and configured. Attached are the XFree86.0.log file and my XF86Config file.

Re: [XFree86] r128 resolution question
This was addressed in bug 661: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661 I'm not sure if the fix has made it to cvs yet. Alex On Thu, 6 Nov 2003, Iain Campbell wrote: > I have a IBM Thinkpad A21p laptop with a Rage 128 Mobility card, and I > have a vexing problem.

This is a The r128 driver, when connected to an LCD, ignores all the numbers in the modeline except for the x and y resolutions - it even ignores the clock speed: It looks up the rest of the numbers from the vbios, using the x and y resolutions to find a matching mode. This doesn't prevent you from using other resolutions, but some of the lower resolutions have stupidly high refresh rates (aiui this doesn't matter because the chipset compensates for this), so if you adjust the HorizSync and VertRefresh values to have a _very_ wide range, you may be able to get at those modes. I discussed this with the list a while back and a patch was put into CVS, if said patch has propagated into your installation, then the Xfree86 log should show why a mode is rejected (eg "not listed in bios" and so on). I have an A20p (Rage Mobility M3), if your horizsync and vertrefresh entries are lenient enough, I would expect something like this modeline to work for you: ModeLine "1280x1024" 108.00 1280 1328 1342 1568 1024 1025 1028 1040 [ as I said, most of the numbers will be ignored, but these are the values I actually pulled out of the VBIOS. ] HTH __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [XFree86] SiS315 Dual Head separate x servers/WMs
you are misunderstanding "normal" multihead. what it means is that you have two independant screens (you can run different apps, WM's, etc on them, but you can't drag windows between them) with a shared set of input devices. xinerama binds the two independant screens into one large, logical screen. there is no way, without patches, to have separate independant screens with their own independant input devices. Alex Hi! Thanx for the answer. I understand from you that this only be possible with patched kernel and xfree86. The text from Tomas Winischhofer site i was thinking about with mode "Normal" was the \ following. "XFree86 supports two different dual-head modes: "Normal", where you get two \ independent screens (and two X sessions), and "Xinerama" where these two screens are \ virtually one. Please see the documentation on Xfree86.org for more information..." The Normal mode is exactly what i'm looking for if it's possible. What is unsure is if i'm able to start different window managers in the independent \ screens and if can force the keyboard and mouse to only operate on one of them. I've already got a pci graphics card on the shelf so maby i'll try to start patching \ things up trying it the hard way. Fredrik __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Alon, TV-out is not supported yet by either the xfree86 or DRI trees. I believe there may be experimental support in the gatos project (http://gatos.sf.net), but I've never tried it. You might inquire there. Also, there are only two display controllers on radeon hardware so it can only drive two outputs (some combo of DVI, CRT, and TV-out). hope this helps, Alex -- Hello all. After setting up my Hercules 3D Prophet to do dual-head (thanks for the help again Alex & Co.:) ), packed with new enery to fight yet another battle, I want to use my TV-out to see DVDs (or any other thing). Being the optimistic I am I thought that simply plugging in the RCA cable from the card to the TV would do the trick -- it didn't. This is what I have so far: 1. I learned that the TV shows (tries to show) the contents of the second CRT monitor (I have two standard VGA connectors). 2. The image shown on the TV is just a bunch of lines dancing around the monitor. 3. I do know it's trying to show the image from the monitor since I can things change on the TV when they change on the monitor -- for example opening or closing a window with a white background will create or hide a brighter section of lines on the TV 4. When I try a single-monitor XF86Config the TV is blank 5. In console mode the TV is blank 6. I've tried lowering the resolution of both screens or one of them to 800x600 -- same thing 7. When the TV-out cable is connected, the second CRT displays badly, as if its cable is malfunctioning (worse colors, and some bluriness) Some Google searching led me to a small utility name atitvout. Running atitvout detect gives me: CRT is attached. TV is attached via S-Video. (is sais "TV is attached" even when it's not) Trying to use it to actually activate the TV gives me no results or error messages in the form of "unsupported by your card, blah blah blah".

Re: [XFree86] Purchase Advice Needed: Robust DVI support?
As I recall the mga driver requires the binary "hal" module to use the DVI ports. You might be able to get it working using the linux mga fbdev driver and the option "usefbdev" since the fbdev driver supports pretty much all of the feautures of the mga cards. Alex --- Sorry for coming late to this discussion, but I just subscribed. I happened to be going through the MGA manpage today, and noticed that it would appear that the MGA G550 is both supported, and dual DVI. What resolutions it can drive in DVI mode, I don't know, but I'm sure the Matrox site would be forthcoming. $.02, -Ken > The radeon driver code has code to handle two DVI ports however, the > cards are very rare.

[XFree86] MGA G450 -- not support Overlay & Xinerama simultaneously?
Matrox chips only have one overlay and it is limited to the first head as I recall. This is a hardware limitation. You might be able to get it working with two matrox cards since each one would have an overlay to work with, but I've never tried it. Alex -- Hi, all. When I try to fire up both Xinerama and Overlay on my G450 32 MB, it dies with "Incompatible screens. Root window depths differ" [I'll post the whole log below.] I can get either Xinerama -or- Overlay to work just fine. Lastly, according to this link: http://calmarc3.cchem.berkeley.edu/archives/bum/02/archive/0058.html they do appear to be mutually exclusive. Is this true? Might it be fixed in 4.3? Would it work if I used two different G400's, instead of just one G450? Thanks, Ken D'Ambrosio Sr. SysAdmin Xanoptix, Inc. __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [XFree86] Purchase Advice Needed: Robust DVI support?
The radeon driver code has code to handle two DVI ports however, the cards are very rare. I've never tested it. Also there might be issues depending on what tmds/lvds controller the vendor uses since the radeon only has a one integrated controller. Dual DVI boards require an external controller to drive the other DVI port. Depending on the controller, you might need additional code to handle its set up.

[XFree86] Please read if you are having problems with dualhead on radeon IGP chips
I've talked to quite a few people that have had problems getting dualhead to work on radeon IGP chips. Specifically, the crt port seems to go into powersave mode when dualhead is enabled. I talked to Hui Yu at ATI about the problem and he hasn't seen it on his IGP boards using the lastest code from cvs. So, for those of you that are having problems please send me or Hui the output of this radeon register dump program: http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/mergedfb/cvs/DRI/hy0/radeon_dump.tgz To run this program, configure the non-working dualhead setup as usual, login as root, startx or xinit, run radeon_dump in a xterm, redirect the output to a file. Hopefully we will be able to pinpoint any anomolies and fix the driver. Please set up regular xinerama based multi-head rather than my mergedfb version of multi-head. Thanks, Alex __ Do you Yahoo!?

[XFree86] XFree86-4.3.99.14 via driver
You might enquire on bug 525: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525 Alex -- Hi, I have linux 2.4.22-rc4 up and running on my VIA EPIA M1 board. I have compiled and install the latest CVS release of Xfree86-4.3.99.14. Everything appears to be working fine. I have configured different resolutions without problem. The problem is that I would like to drive a non-standard resolution: 852x480 which is the exact resolution of the panasonic plasma display that I want to attach this computer to. The following modeline works with a Number Nine Revolution IV graphics card (under XFree86 4.3.0) and with an onboard Intel i856G adaptor (using the XIG driver - the XFree86 driver ignores modelines and uses only the bios settings): Modeline "852x480" 33.07 852 872 912 1068 480 483 488 516 -hsync -vsync However, when I use this line with the new XFree86 via driver, I get the following error: VIASetModeUseBIOSTable: Cannot find suitable mode!! Mode setting in XF86Config(-4) is not supported!! Yet, earlier in the log file I have the following lines: (==) via(0): Not using video BIOS to set modes . . (II) via(0): Modeline "852x480" 33.07 852 872 912 1068 480 483 488 516 -hsync -vsync So it would appear to me that the driver acknowledges that it will ignore the bios, accepts the modeline, then has a problem including this modeline in the bios table. Does this mean that the via driver for the CLE266 chipset is unable to specify clock timings that are not a multiple of 8 (which is the case for a horizontal resolution of 852)? As I mentioned above, I had this problem with the i856G driver for XFree86 but when I moved to the XIG driver, I was able to specify non-standard modes. Unfortunately XIG have not released a driver for the VIA CLE266 chipset. I wrote to them and they said that VIA is being very slow about providing them with the necessary technical specifications. Is there any way to get the XFree86 driver to accept the above modeline? In the meantime, I can drive a resolution of 856x480 and setup the plasma display so that the 4 extra vertical lines are outside the viewable region, thus giving me a clear pristine 852x480 image on the display. However, I don't like those kind of workarounds. I like to know that the software can drive the hardware to its full capacity ... Thanks for any help or suggestions. Marc Beuchat __ Do you Yahoo!?

[XFree86] Hercules
first make sure your config file is set up correctly. your device sections should look like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "ATI Radeon 7000" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard1" Driver "radeon" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "ATI Radeon 7000" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Screen 1 EndSection Make sure you change the BusID to whatever your card is, and make sure both devices have the same BusID. some newer radeon cards have two ids. ignore the secondary one (usually the id that ends in 1). also remove any videoram lines from your config. this is an example screenlayout: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "DualHead" Screen 0 "Screen0" Screen 1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "On" EndSection You only need the xinerama option if you want to drag windwos between heads (single logical screen).

The issue appears to be pertinent to both XFree86 and RedHat 9, and I have not seen any specific mention of it in the current archives when I searched on Google. I apologize for the length of the note but want to get as many possibly pertinent details into it as I can. We recently had a meltdown on a box that had RedHat 7.3 installed; we decided to install the latest version of RH since support for 7.3 seems likely to go away in the near future. The box contains the following hardware: ASUS P2B-D Dual PII motherboard Dual PII 450 Deschutes CPUs w/512K cache 448 MB non-ECC PC100 RAM 3Com 3C905B-TX Ethernet ESS-1968 Maestro 2 sound Matrox G400 Dual-Head w/16 MB RAM Generic 40X CD-ROM 6.4 GB Quantum IDE HD 13 GB IBM IDE HD ViewSonic P810 21" Monitor IBM P200 20" Monitor The 6.4 GB drive has an old installation of NT 4.0 on it which we have enabled for dual-boot. The 13 GB is the primary channel master, the 6.4 is the primary channel slave, and the CD is the secondary channel master drive. On to the problem: when we installed RH 9, we were unable to set up dual head Xinerama display as we had previously. Not surprising, as we had to download the Matrox binary-only drivers to make that work on RH 7.3. We downloaded the latest drivers from Matrox which are currently labeled 3.0 compared to the old ones at 2.0, and installed them. After some initial weirdness with the MGA PowerDesk utility showing the second head greyed out so that it appeared it was impossible to configure it, we were able to get the second monitor up. For some odd reason, if you double-click in the (empty) area to the right of the monitor icons in Power Desk where the "mode selection" radio buttons go, it suddenly decides to activate the second monitor. Go figure. So, we configure the monitors into dual-head mode, left and right merged display. Restarting X brings up the dual-head display as we expected, and we were able to log in. We configured up2date and got all currently available updates onto the box. Then we started actually trying to use the system, and the problems began to appear. Here are the primary problems: 1) Anything GL-related can (and probably will) kill X. This problem first manifested when the primary user would walk away from the machine long enough for the screensaver to come on. He would often come back and find that he'd been logged out. He initially thought this was some wacky new auto-logout feature built into the screensaver and wasted some time trying to find something in the configuration windows to disable it. We found that we could force the crash by selecting preview on any of the GL screensavers such as GLForestFire. 2) Any version of Mozilla other than the 1.2.1 that ships with Redhat is extremely unstable. Browsing to the Ximian site locked up both 1.3 and 1.4 stable versions of Mozilla. We downloaded Firebird 0.6.1 as well, with the same results. Most of the time they won't even start; you get an empty grey window frame when you try to start any of them. Redhat's 1.2.1 continues to run like a champ. We de-installed the Matrox drivers and went back to single-head mode, and all of the problems immediately vanished. OK, so we went looking for information on this problem. We were unable to find anyone else who was having the specific problems we were having, either in the mailing list archives for redhat, XFree86, or the Linux lists at Matrox. We found some stuff through groups.google.com which suggested we might be able to run the G400 in dual-head mode without using the (clearly buggy) Matrox drivers, but that turned out to be totally fruitless. We set up a xinerama-enabled XF86Config file and attempted to run with the 4.3.0 stuff that we had installed. No joy. XFree86.0.log clearly showed that it wanted the mga_hal_drv.o file to be available. We finally concluded that the folks who claimed to be running without the Matrox drivers must be running distros that shipped with mga_hal_drv.o installed and they just weren't aware of it. One of them was running Mandrake, but I don't recall which version it was. You can find those posts on Google by searching for "Mantrox G400 Dual" (and no, that's not a typo). Documentation for XFree86 states that the default behavior for the MGA driver is to load the MGA HAL driver if it is available, so we tried installing *just* the mga_hal_drv.o file from Matrox but leaving the stock 4.3.0 mga_drv.o file in place. No joy. The second head would not turn
Re: [XFree86] Mouse restrictions under dual-head config
This can be done, however, both heads have to be in graphics mode, so you'll have to start an xterm or something on the other head to display your log output. to to it change the screenlayout section of your config. remove the relationship (eg. leftof, rightof, etc.) between the heads ie: Screen 0 "head0" 0 0 Screen 1 "head1" Also make sure xinerama is not loaded. Alex -- No, that's not what I want. What I meant is that I'll be using the secondary screen for process and log monitoring and such stuff. I have had no trouble at all setting that up, and it's working just fine. Since I won't be giving it any input, I want is to restrict my mouse from being able to wrap over to it when I move it to the edge of my primary screen.

Re: [XFree86] Driver for ATI Radeon IGP 340M
Actually I think the IGP code went in after 4.3.0 was released. you may need to use the driver from CVS. Also if you want 3D support to need to use this patch: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314 Alex On Tue, 2003-10-07 at 16:23, =?iso-8859-1?B?SXNpZG9ybyBUcmV2afFv ?= wrote: > Sir, I have an ATI Radeon IGP 340M and I wish you could tell me which driver I \ > should use and how I can configure it. > Thanks You should run XFree86 4.3.0 or later and use the "radeon" driver.
