Hi, I'm trying to get XV acceleration to work on the secondary display on my laptop, and I'm not having any success. Playing videos with XV acceleration on the primary display works fine, but on the secondary it always falls back to X11 rendering which is sufficiently slow that the frame drop makes it unusable.
I tried switching the layout around (making Screen1 0 0, Screen0 LeftOf Screen1) and that didn't make any difference. I also tried: Option "Primary" "true" on Screen1, but that didn't help, either. The VGA controller is an ageing Rage Mobility M4, and in lspci it shows up as a single device, but specifying an additional r128 device section without device ID and attaching Screen/Monitor sections to it gets the external screen up. How can I get the external monitor to be the primary (actually primary, not just by desktop icon placement appearance) and thus get XV acceleration on that instead of the laptop's built in screen? The other problem I have is that if the secondary screen is plugged in when X starts, nothing appears on that screen, but if I unplug the external screen, start X, then plug in the secondary monitor, both show the correct output. I'm using RHEL5 and the ATI driver is from this package: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-3.27.el5 TIA.
