Re: [XFree86] Radeon 8500 Dual Head

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, 
	That is precisely the part that I am having trouble understanding. How could 
Xfree possible know that there are 2 heads if I have given it the same BusID, 
However all the XF86Config examples I have of radeon dual head cards ( 8500, 
7500 , and 9000 ) all specify the same busID. When I do scanpci, or pciconf ( 
this is freebsd ) it only shows the one device under the agp slot ( ie. 
01:xx:xx ) that busID being 01:00:0. I even tried using a live linux cd ( 
linux toolkit business card cd ) so I could use the command lspci, and still 
it appeared to give me the same results. 
	The example 8500 config I got of the net was from a debian user, and from 
speaking to other FreeBSD users, they to have had difficulty with this. 
However I dont beleive it to be a FreeBSD issue, as this is handled by 
Xfree86. 
	I am not a linux user, so my use of lspci to determine the busid for the 
second head could be wrong, any suggestions on the best way to use it for 
this cause? 

Thanks for the sugestions
Any other suggestions appreciated

Thanks
