I'm trying to configure two monitors to work with a radeon 9800 (pro) card using the radeon driver (mostly because fglrx no longer supports this card...) Starting up kdm or gdm with no xorg.conf leaves the screen connected to DVI-0 blank and it remains so after login. Using grandr doesn't do anything, I get this error: """ The program 'grandr' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 46 error_code 8 request_code 149 minor_code 21) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) """ When trying to change layout or anything. xrandr reports the following: """ Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1366 x 1366 VGA-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 410mm x 230mm 1366x768 59.8 + 1280x720 75.0 60.0 1152x720 60.0 1024x768 75.0* 60.0 1024x576 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 DVI-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm 1280x1024 60.0 + 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0* 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) """ The monitor at VGA-0 is supposed to be run at 1366x768 so i use "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode "1366x768"" to make it so; Imagine my surprise when setting this resolution puts a cloned image on the DVI-0 output! so I figure "this might just work" and try "xrandr --output VGA-0 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-0 --right-of VGA-0" and of course I get: """ xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1366x1366 (desired size 2390x768) """ I'm not getting why the screen is limited to 1366x1366 but I'm certain there is a good reason and I'm definately not getting how I should proceed with this...
Is there some way to change the "maximum screen size"? or maybe add another screen? (I never did get the monitor-screen-desktop-display thingy in Xorg right, sorry) that is: Screen 0 on VGA-0 and Screen 1 on DVI-0. pherhaps I should read man pages... I've also tried with some xorg.conf files found on different sites, these all lead to X not starting at all. if there is interest I could provide these and the logs they generated... //Erik Sundin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
