I'm starting to think this may be a issue with the way your card is wired. it may be that hercules wired the DACs or outputs in a weird way that is preventing dualhead from working 'normally.' if you have no luck going forward, you may want to open a bug on xfree86 bugzilla (http://bugs.xfree86.org). Since mergedfb and 'regular' dual head program the crtcs the same way, if one doesn't work, it stands to reason neither will work.

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.
