Not necessarily. Panning is certainly helpful, but the driver doesn't even detect the higher resolution. Given you have a dead old version of radeonhd, please try the current 1.2.5 one. It is also probably that you stumble over an randr bug in the Xserver, as 1.4.2 is also ancient. To get more informative output in the log also try starting X with -logverbose 7. If the newer versions don't help, try posting on the radeonhd mailing list - see http://www.x.org/wiki/radeonhd Matthias -- Matthias Hopf <mh...@suse.de> __ __ __ Maxfeldstr. 5 / 90409 Nuernberg (_ | | (_ |__ m...@mshopf.de Phone +49-911-74053-715 __) |_| __) |__ R & D www.mshopf.de _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
