xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Hello,

I used fglrx with no problems over months but no I have to switch (because of xorg-server 1.6.). My graphic card is ATI Mobility X700, my configuration is that I have a laptop monitor (1280x800) and a other monitor (22" widescreen 1680x1050). My old configuration was that the big monitor is left-of the LVDS and Xinerama was active, I could pull windows from LVDS to the big screen. I would prefer the same configuration with the free driver, but I can't configure the xorg.conf that it works. It would be awesome if somebody can create or help me with the xorg.conf. No xorg.conf is also not a good way, because I got the wrong resolution and just one screen is active.

Btw. what is different between xf86-video-ati in the repos and xf86-video-ati-git in the AUR?

Thanks a lot

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

xf86-video-ati-git most important of all gives you basic support for power saving, especially needed for a X700 Mobility(Rxxx?). I have a X600 and did the switch a few days back and must say that everything works better now with radeon from git! Power saving support is still rudimentary for my X600 (RV380) and doesn't save as much power as PowerPlay of fglrx did (saves 3W atm on battery), but I can enable power saving with two monitors attached now and video playback is still smooth and even Goggle Earth works better than ever before.
Just install radeoon from GIT, load the new module and create a new xorg.conf with 'X -configure'. Copy the xorg.conf to '/etc/X11' and uncomment the 'ForceLowPowerMode' option and also add a 'Virtual 2960 1050' line to your Display subsection in your xorg.conf. Then 'startx' and configure your monitors with 'xrandr'. Something like this:
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050 &
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024 &
xrandr --output DVI-0 --pos 1680x0 &

See if you can get it going and I will help you refine things later...

What to do mean with "load the new module"?

To not forget that when you deinstall xf86-video-ati and install  xf86-video-ati-git that you need to unload the old radeon module and load the new one unless you reboot... smile

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Ok, I load the module "ati" at rc.conf or is better at xorg.conf?
The LVDS-screen is black and my VGA-0 is not started with the best resolution. I execute: xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050 and this enable a better resolution. But when I try to execute: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --right-of VGA-0
xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1680x1680 (desired size 2960x1050) 

Although Virtual with 2960 1050 is a subsection of Screen. Where is the mistake?

Thanks

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

I guess 'Virtual' has to go here and in all other subsections for the color depths you use.

SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
        Virtual 2960 1050
    EndSubSection

And the module is named radeon, but I guess it gets already automatically loaded. Besides that you load it via the Modules section in rc.conf.
About X starting with the right setup without calling xrandr manually, it depends on how you start X how to do it. Am I right that you use gdm or kdm?

EDIT: And the option to enable power saving goes like this:
Option      "ForceLowPowerMode" "true"

Keep in mind that this sets the card in  permanent power saving mode. And sorry that I wasn't more precise in my first post, but I was in a hurry. smile

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Yes, I'm using KDM.

Ok,Virtual works, but not correctly. After xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050 the resolution of VGA-0 is high. Here is perhaps a useful output:

xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 2960 x 1050
VGA-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 473mm x 297mm
   1680x1050      59.9*+   60.0
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0
   1440x900       75.0     59.9
   1280x960       60.0
   1280x800       59.8
   1152x864       75.0
   1152x720       60.0
   1024x768       75.0     60.0
   832x624        74.6
   800x600        75.0     60.3
   640x480        75.0     59.9
   720x400        70.1
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
   1280x800       60.0*+
   1280x720       59.9
   1152x768       59.8
   1024x768       59.9
   800x600        59.9
   640x480        59.4
DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

But xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 does not work. There is no error message but the laptop screen is still black, there's nothing to see. Positioning with --right of VGA-0 has also no effect. I don't know what to do. Anyway xrandr never saves the new better resolution, but I think that is normal. First get it to work with xrandr, than writing it down to the xorg.conf wink

ForceLowPowerMode is now true.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

It is strange that the laptop screen is black because xrandr marks the active modes with an asterisk and those marked are the right ones and LVDS is also enabled. Since you use kdm you probably also use kde, right? I ask because I myself had to start with a clean kde config (by renaming .kde4) to make it work, otherwise plasma would crash and not run at all. It was also the same for Xfce4. Even before when I changed some commands that set the right resolution, position on X startup I messed things up and had to start with a clean config again. Sstrangely setting resolution of the first and second monitor and x,y position of the second monitor makes kde start right, ut also calling also 'xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of LVDS' screwes things up. This is done in '/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup' like this, so you don't have to do it manually.
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050 &
xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1280x1024 &
xrandr --output DVI-0 --pos 1680x0 &

The KDE systemsettings module for xrandr never worked for me.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Found something. In your xrandr output you see that both screens start at the same coordinates, at x=0, y=0. Did you issue the command 'xrandr --output VGA-0 --pos 1280x0' correctly (this is the command when your external monitor sits right of your laptop monitor)? I had to use the pos command because otherwise my two monitors would overlap. Please post the exact commands you issue.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

I stumbled on this thread while trying to get multi head working on a very similar setup (laptop, X.org 1.6.1, radeon driver, external monitor).

Ultimately two minor things were sufficient to get it working for me (did not need xinerama, twinview (nvidia), or MergedFB (ati)).

*Added the "Virtual" directives to the Display sub section in the Screen section of xorg.conf; as you've already done.

*Used xrandr to activate the second display. signor_rossi's method should definitely work (I suspect the observations in his last post are correct), but I also found an alternative one-liner in the wiki that also works. In your case it would be:

xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS

I was able to issue the command in a terminal after starting X...and there it was, display number 2 ( and not a clone of disp. 1). I'm impressed by how little effort it required. Took some doing to find out what was necessary, but in the end, very easy.

I'm mainly posting this to confirm that the method does work, and furthermore it works with xmonad under the latest X server.

For anyone curious about xmonad and multiple displays:

At first using a multi head setup in xmonad is a bit mind bending, but after getting oriented it's really nice. One danger is you might get it working without even realizing it started working properly. A status bar with the workspace information is really helpful in understanding how workspaces (equivalent to virtual desktops in other WMs) function in xmonad when there are multiple displays.

One unique (I think) behavior is that the new display area is not used by stretching a single workspace onto the extra displays. Instead, each extra display shows a separate workspace, and all displays can be controlled independentally.

For example, by default there are 9 workspaces in xmonad. With a laptop and an external monitor, the laptop could be displaying workspace 3, with the external monitor showing workspace 5. Subsequently the laptop could be switched to workspace 2 with the monitor remaining on workspace 5.

Quite cool, and if I'm not mistaken, fundamentally different from other window managers in a multi display environment.

final note: The xmonad FAQ describes the default multi head workspace swapping behavior and shows how to change it (felt unintuitive to me).

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

@veek
'xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS'
is almost the same command (only that my second display is connected via DVI and therefore called DVI-0) I issued when i set up things manually besides 'xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050'. 'xrandr --output DVI-0 --pos 1680x0' is the command I had to use additionally in my setup to not make the two monitors overlap, without it I would see part of the output of DVI-0 on LVDS. to add to the confusion, 'xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of LVDS' executed via the automatic kdm method would screw things up and give me only the same output on both my displays. smile
Just to make things clearer to anyone interested. smile

But did you already try with a clean kde config or start a twm session only? Like I mentioned before KDE would not run properly with my existing kde config.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Removed .kde4 and restart and tried 'xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1680x1050 & xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 & xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of LVDS'.
The same (just wallpaper) and now without the shell where I execute the command. The LVDS-screen is still black. Seems too be very strange. Any output useful? Xorg, dmesg?

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

I'm having the EXACT same problem as mmre. All the xrandr commands are issued correctly and the output seems right, BUT LVDS (the laptop LCD) goes black as soon as VGA-0 is enabled. It seems like they can't be both working at the same time for some odd reason. This is not a hardware issue since my setup works correctly under XP and also on Ubuntu.

Any news?

PS:

I'm still using xf86-video-ati from the extra repo, not the git version from AUR and I've noticed this fatal error in Xorg.0.log when using Option "RightOf" "LVDS" in Xorg.conf:

(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration required for rotation

If I remove this option Xorg starts but only VGA-0 works, LVDS goes blank.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

It seems xrandr is somewhat broken.
I had a similar problem, I was able to solve it turning off a monitor, wait, set the other, wait, set the first one left-of/right-of

xrandr --output VGA-0 --off
sleep 5
xrandr --output DVI-0 whatever
sleep 5
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 --left-of DVI-0

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

OK, confirmed!

As soon as I've relaced xf86-video-ati with xf86-video-ati-git from the AUR xrandr started working perfectly, no more blank LVDS! Thus I assume there's something wrong with the driver on the extra repo.

mmre are you running the git version? If not, that might be your problem.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

@carlocci
Still doesn't work. It seems like there is a screen at LVDS (I can go there with the mouse) but LVDS is black, nothing to see.
What's your graphic card? I use ATI Mobility X700.

yaourt -Ss xf86-video-ati-git:

aur/xf86-video-ati-git 20090419-1 [installed] (42)

Perhaps intresting output in Xorg.log file:

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Any new idea? The KDEMod system setting doesn't work too. If I use identify, both (VGA-0 & LVDS) are the same screen. Is there another tool than xrandr?

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

systemsettings never worked for me either, 'Display Settings' is borked in regard to dual monitors...
Haven't a clue anymore, but maybe at the phoronix forums someone can help you (radeon driver devs can be found there)...

Are you using yaourt (I don't)? If yes, have you tried already to do the installation manually?

Download it locally and run "makepkg". Yaourt has problems, and, as I can see, it didn't change the GIT version to the latest date.

Re: xorg-server 1.6 flgrx->xf86-video-ati

Thanks for all the reply's. I was finally able to get it working with yaourt. For some strange reason it would not install as root, but only as a normal user then entering the root pw when needed.

I have it installed and now trying to get both screens configured and acting like 2 separate X screens.
