Thank you for taking interst and sorry for not responding sooner. I've |
2 |
been really busy lately, so getting xinerama working dropped in |
3 |
priority a bit. |

The answer to the kernel issue is not really. Last year I was using |
6 |
the development-sources kernel (at the time 2.6.6). Since then, |
7 |
development-sources died, so I got someone to send me a 2.6.6 kernel |
8 |
tree tarball from that time period. I've since compiled that and been |
9 |
using it. It works alright except that it will only last a few weeks |
10 |
at a time before locking up (I'm assuming there's a memory leak |
11 |
somewhere); I didn't have that problem last year but oh well; it |
12 |
doesn't hae anything to do with this. |
13 |
|
14 |
as far as the interesting tests, I did all of those already, but I'll |
15 |
try again to reveal the log output. |
16 |
commenting out the SBUS lines gives: |
17 |
|
18 |
(EE) Screen Screen1 doesn't exist: deleting placement |
19 |
Using vt 7 |
20 |
(WW) SUNFFB: More than one matching Device section found: Card0 |
21 |
(WW) SUNFFB: More than one matching Device section found: Card0 |
22 |
|
23 |
giving both SBUS lines fb0 gives: |
24 |
|
25 |
(EE) Screen Screen1 doesn't exist: deleting placement |
26 |
Using vt 7 |
27 |
(WW) SUNFFB: More than one matching Device section for instance |
28 |
(BusID: Card0) found: SBUS:fb0 |
29 |
(WW) SUNFFB: No matching Device section for instance (BusID |
30 |
SBUS:/SUNW,ffb@1d,0) found |
31 |
|
32 |
So yeah, neither worked. However, udev is seeing both of these devices |
33 |
as it's generating them in /dev and /sys ... Therefore, I assume it |
34 |
has to be something to do with xorg. |
