You may need the libHAL for getting a TV-video-out, digital-LCD out and the addtional merged-xinerama mode. The merged/xinerama mode allows you to have one large frame-buffer (the virtual desktop) with the two heads showing two windows into this picture. In the simplest case this looks like xinerama, although it may (I don't have a G450) also allow you to move one or both heads around the virtual desktop, perhaps one screen showing everything, and the other one a zoomed in view of part of the picture. Without this feature, the driver pretends that the card has two completely separate framebuffers, and then Xinerama pretends that these separate framebuffers are one. Pretending twice reduces the flexibility and imposes restrictions. -- Dr. Andrew C.

[Xpert]Ati Rage Mobility and X 4.1 won't resume from suspend
Hi, I just upgraded from XFree 3.3.6 to 4.1 on my laptop which has a Ati Rage Mobility chip. On 3.3.6, suspend and awake worked fine by making the apmd switching to a text console before suspending, using the chvt command in the apmd proxy. I'm working with SuSE which uses a apmd_proxy script which is called from apmd and does all this stuff. Now, with XFree 4.1, it doesn't work anymore. When I try to suspend from X, the screen seems to switch to a console, because it goes black, but half a second later it switches back to X and then suspends! Just as if there was another chvt 7 called just before the suspension. I traced the apmd proxy script to make sure that the chvt 1 is indeed executed, but I could not find any hint about another chvt which switches back to X. Neither kernel (2.2.19) nor apmd (3.0) have changed, just X, so I guess it's a problem with X. I've found some messages in newsgroups describing the same problem, but no solution. I also traced the xpert and newbie list archives back to Jan 2000, but found nothing about this topic (only recommendations to let apmd switch vt, which my apmd obviously does...) Does anyone have an idea what to do? Anything else works just fine with XFree 4.1... Best regards, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steinermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Lehrstuhl f.

Starting from some moment system becomes extremely slow. In-game rendering falls to 0.3-0.5 FPS, i can ever see how window manager and GTK applications works :(. Exiting from game, restarting X server doesn't help - only reboot. I can't localize where the problem is - nothing strange in top and vmstat. Situation doesn't depend from drivers ( tried both from Xfree 86 distribution and from Matrox ), from kernel version ( tried 2.4.x all version except 2.4.11 ), applying sched-O1-2.4.17-E1 also doesn't help.

[Xpert]Is there a working/supported DVI-graphics-card for Linux?
Hello, i started with my ATI Radeon VE dual head in analog/VGA mode and my Linux including the Xserver comes up fine (i have a LCD-screen) Then i tried to switch to the DVI-port, which both card and screen support, but the Linux-boot hangs when trying to start the Xserver. Then i tried to find out about Linux with XFree86 and DVI-supporting graphic-card. But either i tried the wrong places or DVI is yet an unsupported feature.

[Xpert]composite_sync
Hi folks, I have a short question: I'm using Xfree86 with a ATi Rage Pro card and a Compaq monitor. Unluckily, this monitor does not support DDC, and now I have noticed this: When I use XFree86 4.1.0, everything works fine using the ati driver. When I use Xfree86 4.2.0, again with the ati driver, my screen remains blank, although X starts up successfully. After a little research, I noticed that adding the line Option composite_sync false to my XF86Config file solves the problem. The question that arises now is this: Since the monitor doesn't support DDC, it cannot tell X if composite sync should be used or not. Now, it seems that the ati driver in 4.1.0 assumed to *not* use composite_sync by default if a DDC probe fails, while 4.2.0 seems to do the opposite: It seems to enable composite sync by default if a DDC probe fails. I'm wondering if there is a specific reason why this has been changed. Any comments are welcome ;-) Greetings Nils -- Nils Holland Ti Systems - FreeBSD in Tiddische, Germany http://www.tisys.org * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

I got around it by similar hacks to those ones you describe (I've got a Mobility M1, aka a Mach64). However, sometime in the life of XFree 4.1, those hacks became unnecessary, e.g. something in X was now doing the correct thing. I generally only noticed this by accident, when upgrading and forgetting to put back the local hacks ;-) BTW, I upgraded to XFree 4.2 last night, and that too suspends/resumes perfectly out of the box - as well as apparently working perfectly in all other respects so far - great job guys!
