/etc/X11/xorg.conf for attempted dual head
see attached /etc/X11/xorg.conf for attempted dual head
Do you have your fc2 xorg.conf? Also can you attach the Xorg.0.log for booting with this config. Can you also disable graphical boot and test (edit /etc/sysconfig/init or edit the boot line in grub to remove for a boot rhgb). > Do you have your fc2 xorg.conf?
No, I did a fresh install. I will try the others later.

/etc/sysconfig/init
Changed to
#GRAPHICAL=yes
GRAPHICAL=no
and rebooted. It seems I got the usual behavior (graphical interface, single
monitor active.) Please advise.

Modified xorg.conf
Can you disable rhgb, and test with the attached xorg.conf. Let me know what
the behaviour is and attach the Xorg.log from running this.

Below my grub.conf, I hope i disabled rhgb properly.
Video is still the same: one monitor only. *

I have same problem on x86_64 lanei.edu *** Bug 149878 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Mass update: move dual head bugs from FC5 to FC6, no way they can get fixed before FC5 release at this point. I was able to *manually* set up my xorg.conf to do dual head on i586 and deal
and triple head on x86_64.
One smaller problem was that one of the monitor configs was wrong.
I think it was the Sony, since it has lower limits, but it's best you check the
current code.
Below the correct numbers:
ModelName "DELL D1626HT"
HorizSync 30.0 - 107.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
ModelName "Sony 420GS"
HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0
VertRefresh 48.0 - 120.0 # This line is correct
VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0 # This line helps multiple monitors play
well together.
However, system-config-display never sets up dual head correctly.
It would tend to not permit necessary changes, like not act on the OK button,
but throw errors (sorry not included)
and now on a working handcrafted xorg.conf attempting to use
system-config-display generates errors like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 390, in ?
hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/rhpl/xhwstate.py", line 363, in
merge_into
device = xf86config.lookupDevice(xconfig, screen.device)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xf86config.py", line 128, in lookupDevice
raise XF86SectionMissing("No device found with the identifier" + device_id)
xf86config.XF86SectionMissing
but there would be similar errors when xorg.conf file was deleted or moved.
Add to FC6Destop tracker Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. |
