First post for me, so hello phoronix forum! =)
I'm running Fedora 8 on a laptop with an X300 graphics chip. The driver is the one from the R300 DRI project, unsure of the version (it's the one Fedora 8 comes with), but "glxinfo | grep version" shows:
and "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep radeon" shows:
The laptop display is capable of running 1920x1200 and I want to connect an external 1280x1024 LCD to the DVI port. When I do that, xrandr sets the laptop display (LVDS) to 1152x864 and the external display (DVI-0) to mirror it at 1280x1024.
But I want the laptop display to run at 1920x1200 and the LCD at 1280x1024 extending the desktop to the right. So I run "xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1920x1200 --output DVI-0 --right-of LVDS" and get "screen cannot be larger than 1920x1200 (desired size 3200x1200)".
Hmm, so the spanning desktop cannot have a larger resolution than that of the laptop display? This surely cannot be the case?
Anyone know what to do?
PS. I'm deeply impressed with this open source R300 driver -- it's hard to believe it's developed through reverse engineering. I use it all the time to play Open Arena and doing some OpenGL coding. Too bad it doesn't support OpenGL 2.0, although I guess that will sort itself out if you move over to Gallium3D. Anyway, awesome work, keep it up! DS.
Thanks in advance!
