Re: [XFree86] External monitor/project IBM T40p

Hmm, I went to the commerical drivers for the opengl support (I'm running ProEngineer), driver that came with RH 9 did not do opengl at all. The commerical drivers have great performance, see:

http://www.proesite.com/BENCH30/Wildfire_benchmark.pdf

Are the latest OSS drivers improved in this matter?

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:

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,
