Description Stefan Dirsch 2005-10-11 09:38:33 UTC 
We need new profiles for nv/nvidia (2D/3D) and radeon/fglrx (2D/3D) drivers so
the  user can select a Multihead configuration.

nv/nvidia:
        NVidia_DualHead_DriverOptions  --> 2D
        NVidia_DualHead_DriverOptions  --> 3D

radeon/fglrx:
        Radeon_DualHead_DriverOptions  --> 2D        (< R300)
        FGLRX_DualHead_DriverOptions   --> 3D        (>= R300)

For adding these entries we need to write some SQL statements instead of using
the x11DB frontend. Unfortunately the cdbintern maintainer left SUSE/Novell.

Additionally the driver entry "r128" needs to be overwritten with "ati".

Pseudo Code:

case $driver in
  nv|nvidia) profile=NVidia_DualHead_DriverOptions 
  radeon)    profile=Radeon_DualHead_DriverOptions
  fglrx)     profile=FGLRX_DualHead_DriverOptions
  r128)      driver=ati
esac

I'll fix the "r128" --> "ati" change for the update in %post of xorg-x11-server package.

done.

Due to radeon driver bugs we decided to not create the DualHead Profiles any more, so it's the other way round (some profiles already exist in x11DB).

case $driver in
  nv|nvidia) test "$profile" == "NVidia_DualHead_DriverOptions" && profile=""
  radeon)    test "$profile" == "Radeon_DualHead_DriverOptions" && profile=""
  fglrx)     test "$profile" == "FGLRX_DualHead_DriverOptions" && profile=""
  r128)      driver=ati
esac
Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2005-11-22 11:14:20 UTC 
The use of "nvidia" profile needs also to be removed (obsolete by now).

case $driver in
  nv|nvidia) test "$profile" == "NVidia_DualHead_DriverOptions" -o \
                  "$profile" == "nvidia" && profile=""
  radeon)    test "$profile" == "Radeon_DualHead_DriverOptions" && profile=""
  fglrx)     test "$profile" == "FGLRX_DualHead_DriverOptions" && profile=""
  r128)      driver=ati
esac

Markus should be aware of this. :-) Markus, I'll contact you about details later.

We'll meet next monday (2005-12-06).

Markus did the changes now. Thanks a *lot*, Markus!
