hmmm...binaries should work. the URL for patches and binaries is: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276
Yeah, those are the one I'm using.
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.
Dunno about that...
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.
No, never got non-mergedfb dualhead to work, that's why I turned to mergedfb in the first place.
If this is in fact a bug of some kind, where/who should I point it out to, and what info should I specify?
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.
I did a full checkout of the Xf86 CVS, and I'll try to compile with your patches.
I'll post my results when I have them, though I'm starting to accept the fact that I may have chosen the wrong card :)
Thanks for the help,
Alon.

Your log looks fine. Direct rendering seems to be enabled. Whether

try removing: Option "AGPMode" "4" and: Viewport 0 0
Tried removing them, same situation.
from your config.
What patch did you use? also, what version of xfree86 did you patch? were their any rejects?
No patch, took the binaries.
Also did you ever get non-mergedfb dualhead working with stock 4.3 or CVS? If that works then mergedfb should work.
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.
