Description Dr. Peter Boy 2005-09-30 09:24:26 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de_DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
I use a Radeon 9600 (RV 350 AP) dual DVI AGP card (HIS Excalibur 9600 Dual DVI  256 mb, AGP, Prod.Code H960F256-1DTA), which operates two digital flat panels in ATI xinerama mode. Everything works fine but one:

After starting the X server only the left (main) monitor is working. The login panel is shown onto that monitor, the other monitor is non-operating (black), but does recieve a monitor signal (according to its OSD menue). After login the same phenomenon. I must not use the computer until the power saving function becomes active and both monitors don't receive a monitor signal (about 20 min here). After resume by hitting any key both monitor wake up and I can use them in the normal way.

I couldn't check it with another graphics card, but because it does work after the described procedure I don't think it is a hardware failure.

This problem occurs every time the X server has to restart (after booting, after log out, after switching to console by <alt><fx>).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11  6.8.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Radeon Dual DVI with 2 digital panels in xinerama mode
2. After startup the second monitor will not work.
3. Wait until power saving will deactivate both monitors and then resume
4. Both monitors will work now.
  

Actual Results:  After start up the second monitor does not work.

Expected Results:  Second monitor should work from the beginning.
