yangman: xrandr is for adjusting thigns like resolution dyanmically
yangman: you can add options to xorg.conf that forces certain xrandr actions automatically
davidjheinrich: where do I add them?
davidjheinrich: I thought I remembered reading that now, they ahve to be in the Device section?
yangman: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
yangman: make sure you can do it dynamically first
yangman: once you have it working, adjust xorg.conf accordingly
yangman: I suggest reading through radeonhd's man page as well
davidjheinrich: ok ,thanks
davidjheinrich: what dothey mean by several driver detection modes becoming useless, like VertRefresh? resize&rotate seems to be topping out at 60Hz, but this CRT should go up to 85Hz
yangman: xrandr will only list modes that are reported as supported by the display device, or if none are reported, reasoanble gusses
yangman: so, for anything out of the ordinary, you'll need to add it yourself
yangman: just because the hardware is physically capable of it doesn't mean it's programmed to report it as supported
yangman: for CRTs
davidjheinrich: oh dear, I've been having problems finding the appropriate refresh rate at 2048x1536...it's manual & marketing sheet list 85Hz at 1920x1440....but nothing for 2048x1536. what awful documentation
davidjheinrich: ahh, ok, here we go: Max: 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz (from computerdisplays.co.uk of all places, not Sony's website!)

daniel0815: Hello :)
daniel0815: Maybe someone can help me with a problem on my laptop (Sony VGN-SR39VN) with a Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3400 (M82)?
daniel0815: Is it OK to paste a long problem description here?
daniel0815: (hand written, not C&P from log file)
daniel0815: hello?
daniel0815: is there something wrong with my client, or is nobdy talking here?
masa-: pastebin is the preferred way for "long" descriptions, logs etc.. but what is your long?
daniel0815: Hello :)
daniel0815: Maybe someone can help me with a problem on my laptop (Sony VGN-SR39VN) with a Mobilitiy Radeon HD 3400 (M82)?
daniel0815: (gentoo, amd64, (mostly stable...), Xorg-7.4, xserver-1.5.3, DRM-from-git, radeonhd-from-git) - got XV to work with drm+radeonhd from git - nice :) Very nice too: those xxxScaled-resolutions for the PANEL, when I connect an ext. screen - never seen on other driver - really cool!!!!
daniel0815: Now the problem: I have a 24"-TFT with native 1920x1200 res. When connecting through VGA (sub-d) everythings fine, but when I connect through my notebooks HDMI I have a problem. Ah - first: the TFT does only support HDMI-1.1, so that it's only possible to use until 1920x1080 :( , but it has a DVI-connector, so I use a HDMI-2-DVI-cable. With the fglrx-driver it works with 1920x1200, but with radeonhd something strage happens:
daniel0815: The ext. screen goes on-and-off-and-on-and-off.... but only at 1920x1200, all resolutions until (incl.) 1680x1050 and 1600x1200 work perfectly. The notebook panel is not affected, /var/log/Xorg.0.log is flooded with EDID and Modeline infos each time the TFT goes on-and-off. Funny thing: the more movement on screen, the faster the screen goes off. If nothing moves, it may take 20 sec. until the screen goes off (and on again). If I change
daniel0815: the resolution some more times, at 1920x1200 the ext.screen stays black forever (and on).
frojnd: hello there
frojnd: I've plugged in a laptop a secondary monitor. I don't know how to enable this second one as xinerama...
frojnd: ...btw I have radeon mobility x1400 on my lappy. Is this r5xx/r6xx Or this isn't even radeonhd :D ?
da1l6: frojnd: use xrandr
frojnd: da1l6: http://pastebin.ca/1363628
da1l6: frojnd: looks okay to me.
frojnd: da1l6: but there is no picture on the right one (secondary one)
da1l6: you should propably enable it with somethin like xrandr --output VGA_1 --auto --right-of PANEL
frojnd: I only have picture on the lappy.
frojnd: da1l6: magic :)
frojnd: now there is picture
frojnd: :P
frojnd: faonly picture is a little weired
frojnd: And on the monitor I get: Not Optimum Mode Recommended Mode: 1280x1024
da1l6: then use xrandr --output VGA_1 --mode 1280x1024 --right-of PANEL
da1l6: and read "man xrandr" for more info ;)
da1l6: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd also has some info about multi-screen setup
frojnd: da1l6: ok :)
frojnd: da1l6: thanx :)
da1l6: np
