1 Has anyone been able to get a Radeon card to do dual monitor support? I'm using
2 a 9000 Pro, so the driver is "radeon" in the XF86Config. I set everything up
3 correctly, but I end up with one of three modes. The first is a mirrored mode
4 between the monitors (when I use "UseFBDev" for both driver configs). The
5 second is a good primary monitor that lets the mouse move between the monitors,
6 but the secondary monitor is just garbage and any attempts to move windows on it
7 cause it to loop around on the primary monitor. The third is actually Xinerama,
8 but I have to turn off the "UseFBDev" option to get it to work, and the screens
9 are configured correctly. The problem is that it's all tinted yellow. I'm
10 using the xfree4.3.0 drivers from the ~ppc branch and the drm divers too.
11 Should I try the 4.3.99 drivers?

13 Oh, and does anyone know how to configure the V4L overlay in X properly? I'm
14 getting a green and pink picture when I use overlay. If I turn off the module
15 and use grabframe in xawtv instead it works, but I don't want my processor to be
16 passing through the data cause it gets choppy when compiling stuff.

18 Thanks.
