On all of the FC5 clean test installs and rawhide daily net clean
installs including rawhide 3/12/06, one of my radeon cards is not
detected during installation. I don't know if this is normal behavior
or a potential bug. System has a radeon 9200 installed in the AGP
slot of an ASUS P4C800-deluxe mobo and a radeon 9200 SE installed in a
PCI slot. The AGP card has a viewsonic crt attached and the PCI card
has a Princeton 17" LCD attached.
Anaconda, during its startup, reports that it finds a radeon SE
(secondary) with P225f-2 monitor, however, no problems during install
and xorg.conf is correctly created with the P225f-2 installed on
RADEON(0), the AGP 9200 card. The anaconda logs show that both cards
are seen with the 9200 SE PCI card (busid 2:10:0) being reported
before the 9200 AGP card (busid 1:0:0). This might be why anaconda
says that the installed card is the 9200 SE, but sets up with the 9200.
Sounds like a kudzu bug.
I think this is an xorg problem because: 1) dual head works with SuSE
10.0 on xorg 6.8 and Gentoo 6.8. It does not work on SuSE 10.1 beta
series, nor Mandriva Cooker, nor FC 5, all using either xorg 6.9 or
7.0. If I use the device, monitor and screen sections from the
working SuSE 10.0 installation on a FC5 installation, I get a bit
further with the CRT **sometimes** getting to the gnome startup, but
the LCD just has random colors and the system freezes. I have never
tried the proprietary ATI drivers with FC5, nor do I want to.
Please file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla: http://bugs.freedesktop.org
in the "xorg" component.
I am willing to bugzilla this, but would value some opinions from the
testing community if you have seen anything like this or have gotten
dual head to work with the new xorgs with separate graphics cards.
On a separate note, system-config-display does not properly configure
dualhead (and never has). Anyone wanting dualhead configuration needs
to manually configure it by reading the manpages and experimenting with
options until the correct incantation is achieved. If any assistance
is needed to come up with the right set of server and/or driver options
to get dualhead working, the xorg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list
is the best general forum to seek such help.
Hope this helps.
It does help, thank you for the response.
I have been experimenting with the daily rawhide installation of 3/12/05
and can get to the point where both cards and monitors are defined and
can get to a complete working gnome desktop on the primary monitor, but
just an inert second monitor. On XOSLinux which is running xorg 6.8.2,
can get both monitors up and running, but can't get mouse action in the
second monitor. More proof that there is a problem with something in
6.9/7.0.
Have been reading the xorg list filings and there have been problems
with multi-card setups, but they were like four card setups and the rest
were laptops with attached monitors.
Will bz at xorg when I have more data and have run more combinations.
