[Bug 512186] [NEW] No display on second head RV370 Radeon X300

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

The card has a VGA port & a dual mode DVI port (comes with a DVI -> VGA
adapter).  With this driver & two VGA monitors there is no X display on
the monitor connected to the DVI port (via the adapter).

Using the vesa driver both monitors work in clone mode.

Using the binary driver dual-head works _but_ the drawing package Varkon
won't display surfaces in an openGL window correctly.  Which is what I'm
trying to do...  Varkon works fine with the radeon driver, but no dual-
head :(
