 Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2005 9:00 pm Post subject: Radeon 9600XT, mergedfb and crazy gamma [solved] |
 |
|
Hi guys,
I've just aquired a Radeon 9600XT and am using the open source "radeon" driver that comes with X.org 6.8.2. This dones't give me DRI and thats fine, but it does give me mergedfb which I like for my dual monitors.
My problem is that the gamma on the monitor connected to the DVI output (using a DVI to D SUB) convertor is much higher and makes the monitor horrible to look at. Has anyone seen this or know any trick to fix it? It doesn't happen in Windows so it must be an issue with the Radeon driver I think.
Here is my xorg.conf:

I also have a problem with Xv but I'm still trying to figure out what it is! I've tried fglrx and never wish to try it again.

| If no one has an answer, does anyone know a mailing list I can post to to ask? |

I'm not sure but to be honest, you might have better luck trying the dual monitor support in either ATi's 'official' driver or the R300 DRI project. And that project does have several mailing lists you can check out.

That looks like a good idea... thanks. There is a guide in the Unsupoprted Software forum so I'll try following that. I've actually just managed to correct my original problem by letting my mintor setup its colours automatically. It's not perfect but its much better!
Thanks,
Jon |
