Re: Debian Unstable, and Thinkpad X31 with Radeon Mobility
Well, I had to get back to work and couldn't spend any time trying to get Xorg 7.0.7 working (which it did not .. that is I still had only one screen working), so I backed all the way back to XFree86 on Sarge. As soon as I finished my Aptitude session, I killed and restarted X, and bingo, two screens again. My config files never changed for XFree86 either (I did not remove them after going to Xorg in SID).
I'll play with Xorg some more later. I'll go through the upgrade process and note at which version number my dual display setup stops working right.
I have a *feeling* that Xorg 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 works, and that
6.9.0.dfsg.1-5 does not. I say this because I was running a relatively recent Xorg install which did work (it was only a couple months old)... and when I did that last upgrade that killed my dual screen setup, the version number I had ended up at was
6.9.0.dfsg.1-5. When downgrading, it looked like I could choose xxxx.1-4 or 1-5...
Anyway, thanks for the insight folks!

I've an X31 too and I'm using xserver-xorg (6.9.0.dfsg.1-4) successfully with

The same in my log:

Here I found the log message:

Here it differs:

The reason, why it works for me is maybe the slightly different model (NEC65d2
vs. HSL774) or we have different x.org configurations. Maybe you could sent
your config file, so I can compare it with mine.
