Xorg7 + radeon + xinerama

lessthanjake · 2006-02-27 19:04:01

This is my second computer upgrading to Xorg7. With the first one, a laptop, everything woks fine, but with this one I got a problem. I am using the free radeon driver and xinerama, and I have done the needed steps in from the wiki. The problem is that one of my screens goes black, when X starts up. Both are working in console and in clone mode. So there got to be xinerama releated. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade.

Xinerama is actually working, the only problem is that the screen is black. I can move windows from the working screen an to the black one. The mouse does not stop at the edge and so on.

UPDATE: Ok, now i made a screenshoot and the screenshot shows my whole desktop. This got to be a driver problem. Anyone running xinerama + free ati-drivers?

My xorg.conf:

Still the same problem. Anyone here running xinerama and the free radeon drivers, if so could anyone post their working xorg.cong here.

Is it not

Option "Xinerama" "on"

No, it did not make any difference. I belive my xorg.conf is correct, and that it is the driver that is broken. As said before xinerama is "working", but one screen is black. If I open a window an move it off screen, then i can see it in the pager. And if i take a screenshot it shows the entire desktop. And it is not a hw-problem I belive, since both screens is working in console-mode and clone-mode.

If there is none here with a working setup, maybe I should file a bug?

FYI: I have the exactly same problem.
