Re: DDC on dual head - was Re: [XFree86] 4.2.99.4 and mga dualhead
I think that these two problems dont have anything in common but the ChangeLog reports (see below) that both issues are fixed in 4.2.99.901. Ive just checked out and will soon compile and try on my G450. 806. Fixed patch 760: VBEInit takes entity index, not screen index (Egbert Eich). Thats the crash fix. 818. xaaStateChange.c was not calling RestoreAccelState before doing CPUToScreenTexture and CPUToScreenAlphaTexture, which seems to be the reason why RENDER acceleration was broken on some dual-monitor MGA cards (#5602, Nolan Leake). Thats the fix for the font / cursor problem. Jürg Billeter ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
Re: DDC on dual head - was Re: [XFree86] 4.2.99.4 and mga dualhead
Has this fixed the RENDER problem with truetype fonts (the problem that was displaying truetype fonts on the wrong Xinerama screen) There was a patch submitted but I haven't had chance to apply it and test on my G450 yet. mike On Tuesday 04 Feb 2003 12:30 pm, Dr Andrew C Aitchison wrote: > On Tue, 4 Feb 2003, Egbert Eich wrote: > > Jürg Billeter writes: > > > Hi > > > > > > I've upgraded from 4.2.99.3 to .4.

To test this you need to check out > CVS head. Ebgert's fix does seem to stop it crashing on my G550. While testing, I've noticed that the mga driver always reports DDC info for the first head. Are there any drivers which give correct DDC info for the second head, or does anyone else have suggestions as to how to fix this ? -- Dr. Andrew C.

[XFree86] 4.2.99.4 and mga dualhead
Hi I've upgraded from 4.2.99.3 to .4. My setup consists of a Matrox G450 DualHead card with two screens (analog) attached. With the "old" version it worked fine but with the new version the X server crashes on startup (signal 11). Xinerama on or off doesn't make a difference. When I configure only one screen it works without any problems. On both systems I used exactly the same kernel (Linux 2.4.20) and the same XF86Config file. Below you'll find the full log of the crash. I can supply the log of the working 4.2.99.3 and/or the XF86Config if this could help solving the problem.

[XFree86] 4.2.99.4 and mga dualhead
Hi I've upgraded from 4.2.99.3 to .4. My setup consists of a Matrox G450 DualHead card with two screens (analog) attached. With the "old" version it worked fine but with the new version the X server crashes on startup (signal 11). Xinerama on or off doesn't make a difference. When I configure only one screen it works without any problems. On both systems I used exactly the same kernel (Linux 2.4.20) and the same XF86Config file. Below you'll find the full log of the crash. I can supply the log of the working 4.2.99.3 and/or the XF86Config if this could help solving the problem.
