Package: xserver-xorg Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-5 Tags: upstream Hi, Perhaps somebody of the XSF has the final good idea... Starting X on a G550 in dual-head/Xinerama mode won't activate signal output on the second head. Starting X in 'clone mode' (no special configuration in xorg.conf, thus both screens show the same content) switches on the second head, so I can kill and restart X with the Xinerama configuration which works then just fine until the next reboot. More details (and confirmation from a different user): <http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/08/msg02369.html> Others have the same problem: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108073> <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126820> Upstream indicates it *might* be fixed as of this weekend. <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615> If somebody could isolate the patch I'd be inclined to try it (how long does Xorg build on a 3GHz P4?) cheers -- vbi -- Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement. -- Snoopy
