Both of your device sections are using the
same driver "vesa". I
suspect that the vesa driver can't cope with being used twice.
You should replace the "vesa"
with whatever the driver name for your ATI card is. If you look in
/usr/X11R6/modules/devices you should get a list of drivers that are installed.
The string you put in quotes is the
file name without the _drv.o on the end.
Hope I'm not teaching you to suck
eggs.

Subject: XFree86 4.3.0
with ATI Radeon 9100 IGP
Hello
everyone,
[Sorry for a multiple posting. I seem to have reached the archives,
but not the list.... So I'll try again.]
I have recently bought an ASUS PUNDIT-R barebone system.
The on-board graphic processor is an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP chip.
This chip has both digital and analog outputs.
I have two flat panels, EIZO L685 connected to the analog port and
EIZO L767 connected to the digital port.
I installed Red Hat Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.20-28.7.
Next I loaded XFree86 4.3.0. (I would like to stay with this for the
moment in case I have to try ATI's propriety driver, 3.9.0 which runs
under XFree86 4.3.0).
My first observation is that the driver used by the Xserver is vesa.
Despite configuring a xinerama server, I only get one screen active, either
the digital screen, or the analog screen, (depending on what was connected).
With both connected I get an Xserver on the screen pre-defined in the
PUNDIT-R's BIOS. (Digital, analog, or both(clone)). But I can't get
xinerama no matter what I do. As soon as I add "Screen 1" in the
second
Device section, I get an error:
Fatal server error:
Requested Entity already in use!
I have enclosed the following files.
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/var/log/XFree86.log.0 (one screen attached)
/var/log/XFree86.log.0 (two screens attached)
Question: Is this integrated chip capable of running a xinerama Xserver? And
why
am I getting the vesa driver?
All help will be most welcome. Thanking you in advance.
My final aim is to have a 2x2 screen xinerama console, using the 9100 IGP
on-board
chip together with an ATI RADEON 9200 PCI card. I have configured
many 4-screen servers
using various MATROX cards, without any problems and without having to produce
a customized kernel.
