I updated to Sid a few weeks ago to get newer printer drivers so I
could print, and lost my dual-monitor setup in the process.
I've tried a handful of different video cards that I've been able to
get hold of (none of them dual-head), and simply can not recover my
dual-monitor setup.
Most recently I've gotten two identical video cards:
04:06.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4
MX 4000] (rev c1)
04:07.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4
MX 4000] (rev c1)
According to dmesg, the system finds the two cards:
[ 6.044577] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:06.0: Detected an NV10 generation
card (0x018500c1)
[ 7.423750] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:06.0: Output VGA-1 is running on
CRTC 0 using output A
[ 7.432293] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:07.0: Detected an NV10 generation
card (0x018500c1)
[56889.461496] [drm] nouveau 0000:04:06.0: Output VGA-1 is running on
CRTC 0 using output A
But when I start X, I only get one display. I'm not sure what XrandR
does exactly, but it seems to only report one card (run from within X):
we...@westek:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
338mm x 270mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.1 60.0
800x600 75.0 60.3

720x400 70.1
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
TV-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
The X log only seems to see one monitor:

and as far as I can see it doesn't find the second monitor.
I remember reading somewhere that randr 1.2 doesn't support two video
cards, but that 1.3 should:
(II) NOUVEAU(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled
message.
(--) RandR disabled
but
we...@westek:~$ xrandr -v
xrandr program version 1.3.2
Server reports RandR version 1.3
I don't know if I'm using randr 1.2 or 1.3, or even it that's apropos to
my lack of dual-monitors.
