Hello! I'm trying to use a PCI Radeon 9200 SE in a single Opteron machine: drm0: <ATI Radeon RV280 9200 SE> port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xce4f0000-0xce4fffff,0xd0000000-0xdfffffff irq 17 at device 5.0 on pci2 info: [drm] Initialized radeon 1.11.0 20020828 on minor 0 info: [drm] Loading R200 Microcode These are the non-default options in from xorg.conf: Section "Device" Option "MergedFB" Option "CRT2HSync" "30-75" Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50-76" Option "CRT2Position" "LeftOf" Option "MergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0" Option "DisplayPriority" "HIGH" Option "SubPixelOrder" "RGB" Option "DynamicClocks" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Unknown Board" BusID "PCI:2:5:0" EndSection It works, but: 1. We are used to using having two different displayes in xdm/Xservers: :7 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X v :7 -logverbose :2 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X v :2 -logverbose Only one of the two Xservers enables DRM, the second one fails to open /dev/dri/card* -- with NVidia card all Xservers were able to use direct rendering. 2. There comes a point after some time of usage, when the monitor connected to the DVI connector on the card goes dark. The VGA one still displayes its half of the picture, but the other half is not there. An X-server restart is needed. 3. After a couple of restarts described in 2. above, both displays turn erratic -- no discernable picture, but the mouse movements can be seen on the screen moving a large rectangle around. This is when the Xorg process starts eating up all available CPU and the only way out is to reboot the computer. Any hints/suggestions? Any patches to try? Thanks! -mi
