Dual-headed X problems
Hi,
I just upgraded my Debian 'testing' system (Dell Inspiron 5100), and
my X Dual Head configuration now is working oddly:
When I have my USB mouse/kbd and Second VGA plugged in, it comes up
correctly (both monitors running), but if I disconnect either the
USB mouse/kbd or the external VGA (or both), X crashes on startup:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
Here are the warning I get:
(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/mgc" does not exist.
(WW) The directory "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID" does not exist.
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device)
(WW) System lacks support for changing MTRRs
(WW) RADEON(1): Only one monitor detected, Second screen will NOT be
created
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct Rendering Disabled -- Dual-head configuration is
not working with DRI at present.
I believe that none of these are new warnings (and all but the 'one
monitor' warning occur during dual-head operation.)
Kernel: 2.4.24
X-server: XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0-7 20040318043201
root@cyberhq.internal.cyberhqz.com)
This all worked fine prior to my latest dselect upgrade, any ideas
would be appreciated.
Regards,
Eric
