Quad Head Setup - Nearly Working - ZaphodHeads Problem?

[Speirs68]

I'd love to play around with a distro

[agd5f]

The problem seems to be this:

[    14.033] (EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
[    14.033] (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
[    14.033] (EE) Screen 2 deleted because of no matching config section.
[    14.033] (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"

from the Xorg.log. But I'm not exactly sure what that means, because there is a config section for screen 1 and 2!?

There might be issues with mixing the orientations. Try making sure screen 0 is at the origin. e.g.:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Layout0"
    Option      "Xinerama" "on"
    Option      "Clone"    "off"
    Screen   0  "Screen0"
    Screen   1  "Screen1"  RightOf "Screen0"
    Screen   2  "Screen2"  RightOf  "Screen1"
    Screen   3  "Screen3"  RightOf  "Screen2"
EndSection

Alternatively, you could file a bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org

Also, this post is in the wrong section. This is the open source AMD forum.

NEVER use sudo for xrandr!

Thank you!
I am a bit new at this!

This is frustrating. I'm going on day 4 of improperly working monitors.

There are xserver installed without this extension? o_O

Check Xorg.log there's probably something like this:
"(II) RADEON(0): EDID for output DVI-0"
for nouveau too.

Xorg.log shows:
(II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID for output DVI-I-1

Here is my Xorg.log:

AFAIK you have to use the names provided by X (run 'xrandr' in terminal to see what they are called) not the kernel ones in the ZaphodHead config

andrew@andrewcomp:~$ sudo xrandr
[sudo] password for andrew: 
RandR extension missing
andrew@andrewcomp:~$

I had the same question. So I tried all possible combinations. Still no luck!

When I go to the directory: /sys/class/drm
The folders read: "card0-DVI-I-1"

Are you sure the heads are called "DVI-I-1" to "DVI-I-4" and not "DVI-I-0" and "DVI-I-1" two times (for each card)? And are they even called "DVI-I-X" and not "DVI-X"?
