No Second Screen for Radeon XINERAMA

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

 



I've been working to get my second monitor working. So far, I have had no luck. I've searched this group and the Internet. Here is my situation:

ATI Radeon IGP320M (U1) 4336
1280x800 LCD Notebook Panel
Sharp LL-M17W1u Monitor 1280x768
SUSE Professional 9.1
XFree86 version: 4.3.99.902

I have set up my XF86Config as indicated in the Internet posts to have two Device, two Monitor, two Screen, and the appropriate ServerLayout sections. The two Device sections are repeats of each other with one having Screen 0 and one having Screen 1.

The XFree86.0.log section shows both Devices apparently initializing correctly and attaching to the correct screens.

The server starts up on the notebook panel. It displays in such a way to show that it believes there are two screens, i.e. only the lower part of the background shows indicating there is a screen above this one, exactly as I specified in the XF86Config. If I move the mouse pointer up there it disappears. Windows apparently try to display up there i.e. some start but don't display in the notebook panel. The only problem is that the second monitor does not light up.

When I run xdpyinfo, it shows one screen of 1280x1568 pixels.

Unfortunately, all the Internet posts I have found indicate that no one has succeeded in lighting up their second monitor, at least, when using "radeon". Many have apparently tried.

I must admit that I know the card works in general as I am able to extend a Windows XP desktop onto it.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I did not include my XF86Config or XFree86.0.log to conserve post length but will be happy to if needed.

Thanks.
