Help on clone mode for external monitor (FC5/ATI card/Radeon drv)
Hi all,
I'm running FC5 on a thinkpad (T40 ) and I'm trying to get a secondary external monitor to just show a copy of the primary (i.e the laptop LCD). I'm using the open radeon drivers that my FC5 installation defaulted to for my ATI video card (see details below). I can actually get dualhead to work fine with individual (non-spanning) desktops, but what I want is just to have both screens to simply show the same content, although with the correct individual resolutions. Is there anyone out there with a working xorg.conf for such a set-up?! I also tried posting this at fedoraforum.org, but without much response. Funny thing is, I thought that getting "clone" mode to work properly would be pretty easy since I've seen a lot of posts by people who are trying to get their spanning desktop dualhead stuff to work, complaining that their external monitor ends up only beeing a replica of the primary screen.. Which is exactly what i want.. Kind of ironic:) Anyhow, all and any advice is much appreciated! Details: Video card: ATI Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] Chipset: ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 (M9) Lf (AGP) Driver: Radeon Kernel: kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 External monitor: HP L1925 |
Same Problem
I'm having the same problem!
I'm running FC5, latest (asof yesterday) kernel, and am using a Thinkpad R50 with an ATI mobility 7500 video card. I've edited my xorg.conf like crazy, and I've tried messing with dual head, and all kinds of cloning options. Every time I try to restart X, any settings either don't change anything or I have to reconfigure X because it won't start the sever on my hardware. An answer would be greatly appreciated! |
re: clone mode; Thinkpad T40
Clone mode is all I've got working on my thinkpad t40. I'm looking for span capabilities. xorg.conf swap?
