Back then I promised to look into it, but didn't :( We need to find out whether the double scan failure is because of the CRTC, or because of the output. Maybe CRTC2 doesn't support double scan, but maybe it's output2. >>> - I don't get a mouse cursor on the second monitor.

You'll have to use Option "HWCursor" "Off" with xf86-video-mga 1.9.100. Unfortunately, the cursor layer that comes with the randr 1.2 API doesn't allow us to use the one hardware cursor that the chip has (tied to crtc1) and a software cursor for crtc2 :/ HTH, Tilman -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
