Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one) whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

Xorg log when not using a config file and not specifiying nomodeset
When not using a config file the virtual size defaults to 1400x1400, so I can't switch out of clone mode anyway (see below). [trav@cirrus ~]$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --right-of DVI-0 xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 1400x1400 (desired size 2560 And with the config file after running the command above: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 2560 x 1024 VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0* 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 640x350 70.1 0x0 0.0 DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0* 1280x960 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 59.9 720x400 70.1 640x350 70.1 0x0 0.0 I have also found that when configured as above it seems as though everything is working, except that the "left" display (DVI-0) is acutally displaying 1280x1024+1280+0 (ie cloning VGA-0) rather than the reported 1280x1024+0+0. I can see windows that are off-screen in the KDE desktop pager and dragging them to the right makes them visible. An update somewhere along the way seems to have resolved this problem, dual-head now works as expected with the latest F10 updates even without nomodeset: [root@cirrus log]# uname -r 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 [root@cirrus log]# rpm -qa xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-2.fc10.i386 |
Description of problem: Dual-head XRandr configurations don't work on RS482 (Radeon Xpress 200) unless the nomodeset kernel option is specified Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10 kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with the default kernel options 2. Connect a monitor to the DVI and VGA ports 3. Add "Virtual 2560 1024" to xorg.conf 3. run "xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --right-of DVI-0" (or simillar) Actual results: Both outputs operate in clone mode, regardless of the offset/viewport information set or displayed by xrandr Expected results: Each display should show a different part of the desktop (ie spanning mode) Additional info: Adding the nomodeset boot option appears to resolve the problem. xorg.conf (added to set the Virtual screen size) ------------------------------------------------- # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" # keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105+inet" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "radeon" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1152x864" "1024x768" "1024x768" "832x624" "832x624" "800x600" "800x600" "720x400" "720x400" "640x480" "640x480" "640x350" "640x350" Virtual 2560 1024 EndSubSection EndSection lspci -v output for video card ------------------------------- 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company DC5750 Microtower Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 17 Memory at c8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at 1100 [size=256] Memory at d8500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at d8000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Kernel modules: radeon 01:05.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 5874 Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 280b Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32 Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [disabled] [size=128M] Memory at d8510000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 System details -------------- # dmidecode 2.9 SMBIOS 2.4 present. 67 structures occupying 1909 bytes.
