Hiya, On a fresh Fedora (Yarrow) install on an Acer TravelMate 735 everything was sweet and working. Under the GUI ‘Display’ was dual-head –
ability to display different image on the laptop LCD and external VGA port. Once this ‘Dual Head’ option was enabled the
X-server now fails to start with ‘(EE) ATI: XF86Config Device sections “Videocard0”
and “Videocard1” may not be assigned to the same adaptor” XF86Config lists Section “Device” Identifier “Videocard0” Driver “ati” VendorName “Videocard vendor” BoardName “ATI
Rage Mobility” EndSection Repeated again for ‘Videocard1’ with an
additional parameter of BusID “PCI:1:1:0” Quick check of /proc/pci indicates
that there’s only the one BusID available. I’ve tried adding BusID to
both device sections and ‘Screen 1’ to the latter device, in an
attempt to convince the ATI driver I really do want to refer to the same
adaptor. Any suggestions? From a user perspective, pity a single checkbox broke things
in an unfriendly way (I can put things back but not so for many point’n’click users) Regards, Chr!s PS: Lots of similar postings, however most are regarding two
display adaptors. This woks fine in WinXP, 98 etc PPS: Actualy only one glitch –
mic is enabled by default – which is fine, but mic output is (unfortunately) also enabled making for
excellent feedback on a laptop. Chr!s
