"> (WW) MGA(0): Direct rendering is not supported when Xinerama is enabled" How about turning off DRI. Are there any other changes on the XF86Config file ? As an initial test I disabled DRI by commenting out the 'Load "dri"' line in XF86Config. However, that did not solve the problem. No other changes were made to the XF86Config file. The "mga" driver included with XFree86 and X.Org X11 does not support multihead on DFP displays. It only supports multihead on CRT displays. The "mga" driver on the Matrox website, along with the "hallib" module provided on Matrox's website are required to use multihead on DFP displays. Since we do not provide or support the proprietary hallib, nor Matrox's downloadable driver, if you have problems with their driver, you may wish to contact Matrox directly. Alternatively, the X.Org and/or XFree86 mailing lists might be useful as well. Hope this helps. Setting status to "NOTABUG". |
