Yo! As promised: I tried the patch (see bug report), and the problem is indeed fixed. The only thing is that the fix seems to be more of a kludge (hardcoded value, switching of i2c)... Also, it seems that this patch switches the monitor id's - I had to physically switch the connectors, no xorg.conf editing I tried could switch the displays logically. No big deal, though: no ugly kludge at start up anymore to get the 2nd head running. Yay! xawtv still works as before, happily (this has been a problem every now and then.) totem, vlc, noatun et al apparently have problems deciding on which screens the frames should be displayed, and appear to randomly push a few frames to one screen, then to the other one, particularly in full screen mode. Might be related to the location of the mouse pointer and/or the window focus. As with xawtv, this behaviour has not altered, though. cheers -- vbi -- Alex Buell: Or how about a Penguin logo painted in really really trippy colours, and emblazoned with the word LSD. :o) Geert Uytterhoeven: We already had that one, but unfortunately Russell King fixed that nasty palette bug in drivers/video/fbcon.c :-) -- linux-kernel
