Re: [XFree86] Setting up a Hercules 3D Prophet 7000 Dual-head]

hmmm...binaries should work.  the URL for patches and binaries is:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276

are you using the CVS (xfree86 or DRI) or 4.3 binaries?  if you are
using the DRI binaries, you might need to update your 3D driver as
well.  I don't have a 3D driver binary posted at the moment.

Also, as I said last time, did you ever get non-mergedfb dualhead
working?  you might try and see if you can get that sorted out.  those
code paths have been around longer and are better tested than mergedfb.
 if you can't get that going, then you may have a problem with your
card, or perhaps you've found a bug in the driver.  Some OEM cards are
wired oddly and you may be running into a bug regarding that.

You can build from source if you like.  that may solve the problem,
although all my binaries are built on rh9.  if you want to build from
source just checkout either the DRI or xfree86 CVS tree, then apply my
patch in the radeon driver directory
(xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati), then build.

Tried removing them, same situation.

No patch, took the binaries.

I'm using 4.3 from RH9.
Do you think compiling from CVS should work better? If yes -- should I 
checkout the CVS, then patch, and then compile? If so -- could you
write 
down the URL for the mergedfb patch again?

Thanks.

Alon.
