Not sure if this is X11 or yast, but whatever it is, it's not kernel :) Well.. 've reread my post.. I'm speaking about second monitor on Matrox card, if not yet clear from the summary. %) In working self-recompiled kernel I've at least the following: skylab:/usr/src # grep -i matrox /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15.7/.config CONFIG_W1_MATROX=m CONFIG_FB_MATROX=y # CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM is not set # CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE is not set CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G=y CONFIG_FB_MATROX_I2C=m CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MAVEN=m CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y skylab:/usr/src # The full kernel configuration for my system is _temporary_ avaliable as 'http://olli.digger.org.ru/files/pub/user.hints/linux-2.6.13-15.7-custom.config' & will be there till next web-server content upgrade. ( I donno how long %) ). it _IS_ kernel since it require to enable the kernel module that is OFF by default. :/ Sorry, but we only support the generic framebuffer, because we've seen to much trouble with native hardware framebuffers like matrox. OK. Though if the 'matrox dual head customisation needed' support notice 'll be documented in release notes I'm able to leave the proposed custom kernel configuration that will most probably solve the support of matrox multihead for a long time on my web. Should I? Proposed kernel configuration changes: -# CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set +CONFIG_FB_MATROX=m +CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MILLENIUM=y +CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MYSTIQUE=y +CONFIG_FB_MATROX_G=y +CONFIG_FB_MATROX_I2C=m +CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MAVEN=m +CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y Are there any reasons why we disabled build of the matrox fb module? Otherwise I suggest to do the changes mentioned in comment #10. Well, we don't support the native framebuffer drivers in any way. Still we seem to ship most of them (with the only exception of the matrox?). So it would make sense to also ship the matrox module. Do we have to do anything to prevent them from being autodetected and used? I agree. The native framebuffer drivers should't be autodetected and used by default, but in the past this was broken in every new release. :-( Enabled matrox fb driver on i386. This change will be in beta2. |
I've 3 monitors. Two 17" on Matrox AGP card (dual head) and one 15" on ATI PCI card (single head). To enable support for second monitor I had to recompile kernel & eneable some modules. W/o this the installation saw only two from free monitors.

(The only thing I disliked in SuSE multihead configurator was enabling DPMS only for monitors on my primary (AGP) card, so I had to review config by hands. %) ) Probably that beheviour should be documented in relase notes?
