--0-1671679775-1133362081=:93877 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Id: Content-Disposition: inline Hello All, I'm having a similar problem specified in: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2261293+2264703+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20051009.freebsd-questions http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/search.cgi?words=agpgart&max=25&sort=score&index=recent&source=freebsd-questions X works just fine on a single monitor. When I start messing around with the xorg.conf and try to go dualhead, I get either only one head working with a single desktop or one head working with two desktops splitting the screen or X just bombs. To further elaborate on the 'split screen' result; imagine the screen's real estate split into 4 equal parts (a 2x2 square), with only the top 2 in use both as clones of each other. That's what I've seen, on both monitors (however, only one at a time - meaning that occassionaly I have video only on the CRT while the laptop's LCD turns off). Each and every time I go for dualhead, I get the /dev/agpgart warning/error and VideoRAM errors. Compaq nc6120 laptop 6.0-STABLE #0: Tue Nov 29 13:39:18 GMT 2005 Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM Express Graphics Controller on PCI:0:2:0 (and apparently also at PCI:0:2:1, though this can cause weirdness) xorg-server-6.8.99.902 (ports/x11-servers/xorg-server-snap cvsup'ed and compiled a few hours ago) # cat /boot/loader.conf agp_load="YES" # grep agp /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC device agp # support several AGP chipsets # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 3 0xc0400000 63590c kernel 2 1 0xc0a36000 58558 acpi.ko I've attached the xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for each of the following tests: Test 1 - Both BusID's the same. X failed to start. - AddScreen/ScreenInit failed Test 2 - BusID's different. complete loss of video on the laptop. no response ever with CRT. Test 3 - Xorg -configure output. I've worked so long on this, changing settings and getting weird results. Please help. This is a work box and if I can get dual head on it, I will be so much better off. Anything more you need, please let me know. I suspect the problem is related to: # ls -l /dev/agpgart ls: /dev/agpgart: No such file or directory ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
