Well I tried your drivers. In short, they didnt work. Both the LCD and CRT came up with distorted lines (which can best be described as noise) and my machine froze.
I tried using "ati" and "radeon" in the card section and have attached my XF86Config-4. The logs can be found at http://www.senfamily.org/xfree/XFree86.0.log_HUI and http://www.senfamily.org/xfree/XFree86.0.log_HUI.radeon The XF86Config-4 file was also overwritten with garbage after I tried to use "radeon" as my driver. (This could be a file system corruption due to the freeze + rebooting) So far, a single monitor configuration using the old "radeon" (GATOS?) driver is working best for me. I reported that using "ati" and a dual headed configuration worked too. However, power management is broken in that configuration. The screen distorts if the machine is left alone for a while or the machine is put into 'suspend/sleep' mode. I am stuck with a 50 Hz refresh display on the CRT with both the multi-headed 'ati' driver and the single-headed 'radeon' driver. I have chosen to use the 'radeon' as it seems to support power management. DS hy0 wrote: > If you are trying to mirror your LCD on the CRT, try attached binary > drivers.
