problem with radeon dual head xinerama mode

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

 



Hi,

I used my radeon dual DVI card up to F7 without any problems in MergedFB
mode as one big screen (xinerama). In Fedora 9 MergedFB mode is gone and
replaced by randr compatible configuration. I figured out how to modify
xorg.conf.

My current state is:

- as soon as graphical boot screen comes up I can move the
  mouse from one screen to the other and back, it is, it feels
  like xinerama, but only one screen is used for messages  - OK

- when gdm starts I have one big screen as expected  -  OK

- after login the display switches to cloned configuration - Problem

- I can manually switch to one big screen (xinerama-like) using
  xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of DVI-1

Obviously I have missed something in my configuration file. Please,
could someone have a look on it?

There is no error message in Xorg.log but an information:



Any help greatly appreciated.
(==) No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen".
        Using a default monitor configuration.

If I add a monitor option it makes no difference.
