In order to get my Radeon 7500 working in dual head mode (without the "cursor causes the primary screen to blank" problem), I downloaded and installed the XFree86-*-4.3.0-10 rpms from rawhide. It certainly fixed the dual screen blanking problem, however now whenever Gaim tries to open a new window on an incoming chat request, Gaim locks up while the new window is in the process of being drawn. The chat window appears, but the contents are missing and Gaim needs to be SIGTERM'ed and restarted. This is a 100% replicatable fault.. it happens every time, but the trick is, it ONLY happens if the main Gaim window is located on the secondary display. If I locate the main Gaim window to the primary display, everything is fine. I'm also experiencing problems with Evolution in a similar vein. The problem with Evolution is only intermittent but every now and then, when I start evolution, a few seconds after it's finished loading, the main evolution window also locks up and becomes unresponsive (often happens when I scroll down the list of e-mails or folders). Again a SIGTERM and restarting the app seems to overcome it. It doesn't seem to matter which screen it opens on (Evolution opens in the primary screen by default), it still happens every now and then (probably 1 out of 7 startups of evolution). Both of these problems only raised their ugly head after upgrading to the Rawhide 4.3.0-10 XFree86 rpms to solve the dualhead issue. Has anybody got similar problems or any ideas as to how I might resolve this?? I'm pretty sure they aren't application errors as they both seem similar in nature and started after the upgrade to 4.3.0-10. My guess is there is still something dicey about the dualhead side of things in 4.3.0 for the radeon driver. I ran exactly the same setup in Redhat 8.0 and never had an issue. Many thanks for any ideas, Graham Smith _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list xfree86-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
