Can you also attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log please :) Created attachment 342580 [details]

Apologies for the photo quality... all I have to take them with is an iPhone.
Hmm, that X log isn't from the failing version of the driver (your outputs would be named DVI-I-0 and DVI-I-1 rather than DVI-1 and DVI-3 if it were) :) Created attachment 342910 [details]

I tried xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-34.20090507git1072103.fc11.x86_64 and it has the same problems. Since it had the same problems, I had to roll back xorg-server-{common,Xorg} due to bug 499570. So my current (working) stack is:
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-31.20090421git47bb00f.fc11.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-server-common-1.6.1-6.fc11.x86_64.rpm
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.6.1-6.fc11.x86_64.rpm
Give xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-36.20090514git9656762.fc11 a shot, this should be fixed. The build hasn't been tagged into the release yet, but you can grab it here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=102141 Thanks! Using xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-36.20090514git9656762.fc11, the display is mirrored on the two monitors. Needless to say, this defeats the purpose of multiple monitors. Are there any config changes I should make with newer versions? I have no modified my xorg.conf since the original posting. Created attachment 344339 [details]

This is not a bug, the default configuration is to bring all displays up in clone mode. You can use gnome-display-properties to configure another layout if you desire. I'll close this bug now as it's been fixed :) Just a side-note, I see you've configured a non-default layout in xorg.conf. You'll need to rename monitor-DVI-1 and monitor-DVI-3 to monitor-DVI-I-0 and monitor-DVI-I-1, nv50's connector naming changed in -32 to match the pre-nv50 code, and kms. |
Created attachment 342578 [details] xorg.conf xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-31.20090421git47bb00f.fc11.x86_64 works wonderfully on rawhide. However, upon updating to 0.0.12-33.20090501gitf69b34a.fc11, the display is unreadable. I believe the geometry is being incorrectly set, but I can't open an xterm to see what it is set to. Other than xorg-x11-drv-nouveau, the system is fully up-to-date with rawhide as of 20090505. I will attach my xorg.conf and pictures (crappy iPhone pictures) of the problem.
