[gentoo-user] Xinerama after Modular X upgrade

[Kurt Guenther]

I'm having problems with Xinerama after upgrading to xorg 7.0 or modular
X.   My laptop monitor is fine, but my external monitor isn't getting
any output.   I rebooted in Windows just to make sure my hardware is
fine and it is.

x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1

Xinerama is installed:

x11-libs/libXinerama
      Latest version available: 1.0.1
      Latest version installed: 1.0.1


And, my xorg.conf is just like before: 

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "X.org Configured"
        Screen          0 "Screen0" 0 0
        Screen          1 "Screen1" LeftOf "Screen0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        Option          "StandbyTime"  "15"
        Option          "SuspendTime"  "16"
        Option          "OffTime"      "17"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ATIRADEON0"

    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option "DDCMode" "on"
    Option "DPMS"
    #VideoRam    65536
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
    Screen      0
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ATIRADEON1"
    Driver      "radeon"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option "DDCMode" "on"
    Option "DPMS"
    #VideoRam    65536
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
    Screen      1
EndSection


Is anybody else having issues?

It appears that X thinks it's using Xinerama.   I can move my mouse off
the screen and it thinks it has all the pixels.  Just no output to the
2nd monitor.

Shouldn't the second device have a different BusID No?  Something like 1:0:1?

Yes, if you have two different devices.  It's a laptop, so the video has 
two ports for same device.  It worked fine under xorg 6.? .

Hmm, I don't know then.  :-(

If I remember correctly mine has one device (i.e. one video card) but
two ports, which are identified differently.  Perhaps its worth giving
it a try.

Some (All? Sorry, covering arse here) cards (e.g. Saphire radeon 9600
- - whch uses an rv350 chip) have two PCI id's covering the same
physcial card. I originally asked about this back when the r300
project started. Apparently Windows requires the two pci id's in order
to see the two CRT controllers that the cards have.

X ignores it & accesses everything via the first pci id. (In fact IIRC
X doesn't even work through the second head pci id at all, so don't
even try to use it).
