Hello everybody

I have a major problem with the configuration of Xorg about the radeon driver and the dual monitor desktop concept.

I use a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop which has an ATI IGP 320M graphics adapter.

The driver consists not to operate the displays simultaneously (the LCD panel and the external CRT monitor)

The error is always:

Code:
(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled


My xorg.conf is the following (only the critical sections)

Code:

###LCD#####
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        Option  "DPMS"
        HorizSync       30-60
EndSection

###CRT####
Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor1"
        Option       "DPMS"
        HorizSync       30-60
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "radeon"
   BusID       "PCI:1:5:0"
   Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,CRT"
        Screen  0
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Card1"
        Driver      "radeon"
   BusID       "PCI:1:5:0"
   Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LVDS"
        Screen  1
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen1"
        Device     "Card1"
        Monitor    "Monitor1"
        DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
       Option  "Xinerama"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0"
        Screen      1  "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection


Also the driver recognizes the devices as following

Code:

(II) RADEON(0): Primary:
 Monitor   -- LVDS
 Connector -- DVI-I
 DAC Type  -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
 TMDS Type -- NONE
 DDC Type  -- NONE
(II) RADEON(0): Secondary:
 Monitor   -- CRT
 Connector -- VGA
 DAC Type  -- Primary
 TMDS Type -- NONE
 DDC Type  -- VGA_DDC


Is the above correct? I believe the DAC types should be different.

If I change the order of LVDS and CRT in xorg.conf then the CRT monitor works but not the LCD one.

I tried to change the Screen sections using the same device but the error is the same.

Is something incorrect about the .conf? Or something else is going on? I searched the forum but I didn't find something about this error.

Thanks in advance
