Hi,
I have a Compaq laptop with a radeon IGP320M. It has Mandrake 9.2 installed. I just installed the dri xserver (4.3.99.12) and last night's radeon driver build (20020224) from dri.soureforge.net and it works great for the app that I need it work for. However there are a couple of things that do not work.
The keyboard hangs when X starts for the first time after a reboot or after restarting from single user mode, the mouse works OK. If I ssh in and stop X and start it again then the keyboard works again.
With the X from Mandrake 9.2 (4.3.0) it did not have this problem. Is this an issue with X 4.2.99.12 or the updated radeon driver or dri?
Another thing is that I can't get the external monitor as CRT2 to work at a different freq to the laptop's LCD panel. If I don't set the radeon driver's CRT2* options then the external monitor works at 60Hz which is the same as the LCD. If I set these options to anything then the CRT2 monitor does not work at all.
I have done a horrible hack to fix this.
If I define my external monitor in a Monitor section and configure it in the Screen def then it gets ignored and the driver uses the default refresh rate (60 Hz which makes my eyes hurt in about 30 seconds).
To get around this I used the radeon driver's MonitorLayout option to make it think that that the LCD is a CRT, so now it actually uses the HSync and Vrefresh that I give for the external monitor. This drives the LCD panel at an unsupported freq so it switchs off, but that doesn't really matter for me.
Any pointers about how to go about fixing these would be appreciated.
Exact same problem here also with a Compaq Laptop (though older : 711EA) which comes with a savage TwisterK. The CVS (post RC2 I think) hangs but 4.3.0 works OK, and nothing special in the 4.4.0-CVS log file that could give a hint on the problem.
Glad to see I am not alone with this problem ;-)
Bye
I worked around the keyboard hang problem by not starting the display manager at boot time. I just use startx from the console and it works OK.
I suspect that the problem has something do with the keyboard setup in Mandrake because if I choose interactive startup during boot then the keyboard is hung at the time when it prompts for Y/N - most helpful!. By repeated pressing num or caps lock and watching the kdb light it seems that the keyboard is hung after it says "loading keymap" and then comes alive again when it enters runlevel 5.
Still not sure why the kbd worked with XF 4.3.0 and now doesn't work with 4.3.99.12 .
Hope that helps someone. g
