I just checked the /tmp/X.log file, and it doesn't seem to be that simple. There's an error message in the file: "[drm] failed to load kernel module "radeon" (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI." Perhaps that's why X is resorts to use the VGA output instead.

The installer does not have any need for OpenGL, so the DRI X modules, and kernel DRM modules are not present in the installer. The X server will still try to find them and load them however, as that's what it's compiled in defaults and configuration are set to do. If it can't find the modules, it just disables that functionality and moves on. The problem you are having is not related to this. The driver's built in autodetection sets one display as primary, and that seems to be the opposite display that you'd prefer to have as primary. The MonitorLayout option can override the driver's defaults as mentioned above, and in the ubuntu URL posted. Since this seems to be a general problem and not specific to Fedora Core, please report it in X.Org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Be sure to attach your X server log file and config file to the report as individual uncompressed attachments so the driver maintainer(s) have sufficient details to diagnose the problem. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Setting status to "NEEDINFO_REPORTER", awaiting X.Org bug URL for tracking. ping sorry, I have been quite busy organising some Linux events in my home town. I'll hopefully get around filing an upstream bug next week. Regards, Dominik No prob, just add a comment with the bug URL when you get a chance, and we'll add it to our tracker. Thanks in advance. |
