Description of problem: In single head (integrated Intel 915) configuration, video works fine. When the same system is reconfigured for dual head (integrated Intel + Rage 128) using system-config-display, X fails to start. The error messages given are: (WW) R128: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:5:9:0) found (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): X Window System Version 7.1.1 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC6 on HP Compaq d530 with Integrated Intel 915 graphics 2. Update the system with latest xorg packages via yum 3. Single monitor configuration works fine. 4. Install a Rage 128 PCI card (my card All-In-Wonder Rage 128 16MB) 5. Run system-config-display. 6. Configure system to use the ATI card as the second head and individual desktops. 7. Restart X Actual results: X fails to start Expected results: 2 individual desktops Additional info:
Created attachment 145750 [details] Log file from failing configuration
Created attachment 145751 [details] The working xorg.conf file (single head)
Created attachment 145752 [details] The broken xorg.conf file generated by system-config-display (dual head)
any updates on this?
Is this something I should be reporting to Xorg instead?
I tested a _boat load_ of PCI ATI cards on Fedora 8 today (also a PCI-E card), and not a single card will work in multi-head configuration. Some configurations were ATI with ATI while others were NVidia and ATI.
Adam, Any chance of this getting fixed? The bug is over a year old.
Adam, After reading up on Randr 1.2, I believe I am experiencing a bug/limitation of version 1.2 since I am trying to use the two drivers that have migrated to randr. As best I can tell, the old "Xinerama" dual-head style support is not working correctly in 1.2. So the question would be, will this be fixed in 1.3 and when would Fedora adopt it?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Please move this to version 9. I retested with Fedora 9. Although X no longer fails to start, it is impossible to enable dual-head with the utility system-config-display because the pull-down to specify the second video card contains no entries. I retested two configurations: (Onboard video is Radeon) Onboard + rage 128 PCI Onborad + NVidia tnt2 PCI
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Adam, Why is this marked WNF?
Please move this to F9 and reopen.
Reopening bug as per comment #13. Changing version from "7" to "9".
Adam, Will this be fixed in the 7.4 release?

This issue will not be resolved until xrandr supports multiple GPUs. I suggest closing as WONTFIX.
