We can't really help you much with the ati binary driver; for support of that you should contact ati directly. However, I would recommend the opensource radeon driver along with my mergedfb code. It supports all of what you seem to be asking for, plus it will enable dual or single head based on whether or not you have an external monitor attached. xrandr will also enable you to resize or desktop on the fly. In addition, it supports a built in xinerama extension so windows will maximize properly when using dual head, 3d is enabled on both heads, and the video overlay will follow your video window between heads. Radeon Mergedfb is available in DRI cvs. you can download snapshots here: http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ see this page for more information: http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276 Alex --------------------- Hi, has anyone been able to get an external monitor to work on an IBM T40p laptop (might be the same as T40 or T41)? I'm running Redhat 9. I'm also running the commerical ATI video driver on stock RH9 Xfree and have been trying to configure for dual monitor (projector) display. When using x86config-4 file below in either the "DualScreen" or "Clone" ServerLayouts I get a "fatal error monitor not found" on the second screen. Any suggestions? I would also liek like to beable to switch this on the fly (like xrandr allows me to change res on the fly) without restarting X. Is this possible? Are their any nice gui's for doing it (and xrandr for that matter)? thanks, -- Sepehr (Sep) Kiani ************************************ skiani@xxxxxxxxxxxx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
