bluebox thank you for your help and thoroughly thoughtful posts .

They are so long that LQ doesn't allow that. I can post the latest and newest in piecemeal if you are interested. Or do we have a pastebin?

To do a little nitpicking Xorg.1.log gets the log-output from the CRT/Radeon5450 which is connected to PCI:02:00:00.

further on, the ati driver doesn't seem to do anything ... it's the radeon driver driving your card:
AFAIK ati is a generic or wrapper driver for radeon which I use to get the basic things done. To be honest, I simply lost the overview of that zoo of ATI/AMD drivers...

Well, acutally I hope, radeon is just detecting the HDMI output and consumes its first (and only) monitor section for this output.
That is a very reasonable assumption, thanks for stating this so clearly.
Technical aside: The Sapphire / Radeon 5450 has three output sockets, HDMI, DVI and VGA. Obviously X is probing them in this order.

No, it isn't it goes straight to the VGA socket.

Okay, radeon seems to want a monitor section for each of it's outputs and is to dump to detect whether there is a monitor connected, beforehand.
I have a solution for this which I'll put in an extra post, see below (later ).

Here, radeon starts to disqualify its internal ModeLines ... obviously because HorizSync and VertRefresh do not match. As radeon has not queried the EDID data so far, it does not have a clue about the real HorizSync and VertRefresh rates.
What makes it obvious to you that, HorizSync and VertRefresh do not match? That Monitor is so old, it hasn't even got EDID...

Obviously, your desired mode is a default mode. You shouldn't need your ModeLines, matching HorizSync and VertRefresh rates should be enough.
But I want a faster refresh (85 hz). How do you mean, "matching HorizSync and VertRefresh" how would I do that?

Okay, there is no monitor on HDMI-0 so there is no need to consume a screen section for it, but obviously radeon has a different opinion on this. But, finally, radeon detected VGA-1. This happens _after_ radeon decided on whitch ModeLines are usable and whitch are not ... strange thing.
Indeed.

Which one would you suggest (and why)?

Does this mean, radeon simply does not handle this option?
I wish I knew. But see my next post...

Yes, I collected what I thought was necessary. This is my first attempt at multiseat. I will "cull" the unnecessary statements later. And yes, they come from former installations and they did work once...

I explained that there is VGA-1 to be taken into account. But I'll keep in mind the idea to create dummy sections...

I'll work on that one to get VGA-1 its desired monitor section .
Well. This is how that is achieved:
Code:
From "man xorg.conf"
With RandR 1.2-enabled drivers, monitor sections may be tied
to specific outputs of the video card. Using the name of the
output defined by the video driver plus the identifier of a
monitor section, one associates a monitor section with an
output adding an option to the Device section in the
following format:
Option "Monitor-outputname" "monitorsection"
(for example, Option "Monitor-VGA" "VGA monitor" for a VGA output)
Section "Device"
Identifier "Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon 5450"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:02:00:00" # hexadecimal, convert to decimal!
Option "Monitor-VGA-1" "MULTISCAN G200 (CPD-G200)"
EndSection
Please note that parameterizing this option according to the man page means
black text: taken verbatim from the man page. This includes the first part of the variable, i.e. the "Monitor-" part
red text: name of the socket out of the Xorg.1.log output. Different drivers give different names, so one needs to look there...
green text: the label / name / identifier of the relevant "MonitorSection" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Now I get a different resolution but the wrong refresh. Gotta go, I'll add to this later.
<later>

Why? It ignores the line "Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_85" and the modelines in xorg.conf, not to mention the fact that the monitor runs with 1024x768/100
What makes it obvious to you that, HorizSync and VertRefresh do not match? That Monitor is so old, it hasn't even got EDID...
But I want a faster refresh (85 hz). How do you mean, "matching HorizSync and VertRefresh" how would I do that?
I have a similar Problem ... a DFP connected via a VGA-switch. The DFP has EDID, but the switch doesn't let it pass. I got a resolution of 1024x768 - seems to be the standard for devices without EDID.
All I had to do was adding some HorizSync and VertRefresh values to the Monitor Section. No Modelines were necessary. I had no clue about what the real values were ... I just inserted some values and increased them until the driver decided that 1280x1024 is possible.
You will say "But I have HorizSync and VertRefresh values in xorg.conf!". Yes, of course ... but they seem to be ignored. That's the problem atm.
For the perfect refresh rate, you probably will need your ModeLines, though.

I would suggest to use the "nvidia" driver and get matching hardware, but this isn't a solution here. Sorry, I don't know. There seems to be a reason why there are radeon, radeonhd and fglrx drivers. If one does not work for you, just try the next one. radeon does not seem to be very smart, as I lined out ... maybe radeonhd is smarter. Is there any nice gui configuration tool for the fglrx driver?
But for now, stay with the radeon driver. Things don't look that bad and I still have some ideas

Consider "Option "MonitorLayout"" with "NONE" value.
Consider "Option "CRT2HSync"" and following.
Consider "Option "MetaModes""

That's exactly what I pointed out in my last posting. You can work around it by letting 1280x1024 be the highest available resolution in your ModeLines. But probably it is not ignored, just mis-consumed.

Whatever you've done, now radeon thinks, the same monitor is connected to two display ports. This is obviously wrong. And as it seems, your "PreferredMode" is consumed by HDMI-0 ... solely by HDMI-0!
I don't see your HorizSync and VertRefresh values to be respected anywhere ... maybe they share their fate with PreferredMode.
You can have as many ModeLines as you like ... as long as the driver doesn't respect the correct HSync and VSync values, it will discard any mode it considers to be not fitting inside its imaginary HSync & VSync range of values. It will say "(vrefresh out of range)" and your modeline goes down to the land where inappropriate modelines live.
Your ModeLines are okay (as long as not proven the opposite). HorizSync and VertRefresh are the stuff, radeon must learn.
However, this looks promising:

And resembles your modeline:
Modeline "1024x768_90" 100.25 1024 1096 1200 1376 768 771 775 813 -hsync +vsync
And it is used:
[ 120.505] (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-1 using initial mode 1024x768_90
Yesterday you had:
[ 15.058] (II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-1 using initial mode 1024x768
So, you're on the right way.
Try to disable HDMI and DVI connectors. Try "Option "MonitorLayout" therefore. If this doesn't work, add dummy screens and teach radeon to respect your refresh values. Try "Option "CRT2HSync"" etc and "Option "MetaModes"" therefore. See the radeon manpage for details (link above).
btw, the existence of Option CRT2HSync leads me to the suspicion that maybe radeon expects HSync and VSync values to be in the driver Section, not in the Monitor Section. Maybe this is wrong and this option is solely used for "BigDesktop"-configs, where only one monitor is configured, but two are used. But it may very well be worth a try.

Rep:
Hi bluebox: It is solved .
I took your earlier advice and gave x what it craved. Not the "InputClass" this time but I assigned the (same) "Section Monitor" to all three sockets and all is well. Resolution and timing are what they should be and the "Preferred Mode" is accepted. This is my xorg.conf now:
Code:
# cat /etx/X11/xorg.conf |sort | uniq => no double entries
# xserver-xorg-video-dummy und *-input-void not available
### startx -- -layout seat0 -config xorg-MM.conf => start selected seat

To answer your post:
> from the CRT/Radeon5450 which is connected to PCI:02:00:00.
Yes, of course ... looks like I still do not know your xorg.conf by heart perfectly
I had expected you would know it by now, truly I did .
But they do a monthly update. And what with that re-compiling and things ... but I will see. Seem that SuSE has a repository for that which circumvents a lot of hassle, I'll have to read more.
> ...Is there any nice gui configuration tool for the fglrx driver?
I don't know but I think so.
> ...Consider "Option "MonitorLayout"" with "NONE" value.
I think "Option "MonitorLayout"" with "NONE, (NONE), CRT" would be interesting.
> ... You can work around it by letting 1280x1024 be the highest available resolution in your ModeLines. But probably it is not ignored, just mis-consumed.
That is something I have not solved (yet).
> ...btw, why are these listed twice?
X's idea of showing humor ?
> Whatever you've done, now radeon thinks, the same monitor is connected to two display ports. This is obviously wrong.
Luckily not. I just stuff the "Section Monitor" (three times) down x's throat and it is happy.
> I don't see your HorizSync and VertRefresh values to be respected anywhere ... maybe they share their fate with PreferredMode.
Yes .
> ...Your ModeLines are okay (as long as not proven the opposite). HorizSync and VertRefresh are the stuff, radeon must learn.
I can't teach it, regrettably, or at least I wouldn't know how.
> ..btw, the existence of Option CRT2HSync leads me to the suspicion that maybe radeon expects HSync and VSync values to be in the driver Section, not in the Monitor Section. Maybe this is wrong and this option is solely used for "BigDesktop"-configs, where only one monitor is configured, but two are used. But it may very well be worth a try.
Interesting notion. I see that I still have lots to try.
Thanks again bluebox. You really supported me here .
