Hotplugging: VGA to alubook 5,8 [was: Re: getting wireless and dvi out [ ... ]]
Hi Bin, Everyone,
I'm starting a new thread: I do not want to hijack the one
where this ati-driver topic started ...

The problem seems being gone for the moment, without having changed
xorg.conf here ... But I'll have a look into the "SWcursor" "on"
option .. Thanks for the hint, Bin ...
The problem I reported a few hours ago about the missing mouse pointer
on console probably was due to a crashed gpm server ... Perhaps it
went belly up after restarting X a few times in a row ... not being
sure .. :)
Then this:
BTW: Anyone out there who compiled today's (Friday, Nov 23) radeon
sources received via
'git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati' ?
I compiled them this evening, overwrote the drivers in the
xserver-xorg-video-ati package from experimental, and got errors like
those when I connected the VGA mentioned in the previous thread:
----------------------------------------------
First a newly compiled xrandr (got the sources via
git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xrandr
.. IINM):
./downloads/radeon/xrandr/xrandr/xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 960, maximum 1440 x 1200
LVDS connected 1440x960+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 321mm x 2
14mm
1440x960 59.9*+
1280x800 60.0
1280x768 60.0
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3
640x480 59.9
DVI-0 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
1440x960 60.0
1280x800 59.8 60.0
1280x768 60.0
1152x720 60.0
1024x768 60.0 59.9
1024x640 59.9
800x600 60.3
800x500 59.5
720x480 59.7
640x480 59.9
S-video unknown connection 800x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis
) 0mm x 0mm
800x600 60.3*
## Note: There was no S-video connection that I knew about
----------------------------------------------------------
Then using the old xrandr from
x11-xserver-utils 7.3+1:
$ xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output DVI-0
---------------------------------------------
The new xrandr compiled from sources I got via
git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xrandr
./downloads/radeon/xrandr/xrandr/xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto
./downloads/radeon/xrandr/xrandr/xrandr: cannot find crtc for output DVI-0
-------------------------------------------------
Going back to xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.196-1 solved these issues,
and I could successfully connect the old VGA as I already described a
few hours ago ...
Anything I missed?
And this: I saw this
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11796
This was the main reason I compiled the fresh xf86-video-ati sources:
I thought the patch mentioned on this page would solve the scrambled
mouse image on X: it didn't, IIRC ...
Best Regards
Wolfgang
