on 17.11.2007 17:39 Warren Block said the following: >> My xorg.conf: >> http://ihsan.dogan.ch/files/Xorg-7.3/xorg.conf > That's an old-style xorg.conf, but both the mga and radeon drivers are > xrandr-1.2. Some of the changes needing to be made are described here: I've created with Xorg -configure a new configuration and placed it in /etc/X11. --> http://ihsan.dogan.ch/files/Xorg-7.3/xorg.conf > http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 Thank you. That was really helpful.

I've added then the Virtual option to the Screen section: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubSection EndSection Unfortunately, that doesn't work. If that would work, I would be totally happy. > One thing that may have helped me is that I went through the logs and > removed everything unnecessary or duplicated from my xorg.conf: I haven't done that, because I thought the new config file should be fine. http://ihsan.dogan.ch/files/Xorg-7.3/xorg.conf Ihsan -- ihsan@dogan.ch http://blog.dogan.ch/ http://ihsan.dogan.ch/
