radeonhd [Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT] Second Xserver hangs
Last modified: 2009-09-15 12:54:49 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.3; Linux) KHTML/4.3.1 (like Gecko) SUSE After installation I tried to start SaX2 from out of KDE4 but SaX2 had always been hanging. Nonetheless it was possible to start SaX2 from the text console (see attached logs). Moving /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (no xorg.conf in place after installation!) has somehow helped SaX2 to set up an appropriate screen configuration (see attachement). The problems are most likely related to the current radeonhd-disaster (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23927). Reproducible: Sometimes

I don't believe this is related to SaX2. Without existing xorg.conf SaX2 creates a new xorg.conf from scratch and starts a new Xserver. I think this is the issue here. 2 Xservers running at the same time.
The bug title is somehow wrong: It should be: SaX2 hangs on startup; has nothing to do with Xinerama or dual screen setup.
1, Xinerama or dual screen setup has nothing to do with 2 Xservers running at the same time. 2. I explained in comment #2, why I renamed the bug title. BTW, it doesn't make sense to run sax2 for configuring a dual head setup with radeonhd. You can do this on-the-fly instead.
No, I can`t. It is not supported until a big enough virtual screen is reserved by the xorg.conf. > xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 1600 x 1200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200 default connected 1600x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1600x1200 77.0* maximum 1600 x 1200 I need: maximum 3200x1200 - and this is only possible by an appropriate SaX2-configured xorg.conf!!!

This is no longer required since today. xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Sep 11 15:37:16 CEST 2009 - mhopf@novell.com - bug519261-increase-virtual.diff: * Increase virtual on startup if enough Gfx RAM is available. xorg-x11-driver-video: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Sep 14 16:32:27 CEST 2009 - mhopf@novell.com - bug519261-increase-virtual.diff for radeon and nv: * Increase virtual on startup if enough Gfx RAM is available.
If this is not an issue then we have plenty of other issues; see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23927#c6. The decision to drop elaborate xorg.confs is simply fatal.
Have downgraded to xorg-x11 from Milestone 6 and see SaX started to work perfectly; so this is not a bug of SaX but of the radeonhd driver. Please address this issue upstreams!: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23927#c6. - and do not drop SaX (Bug 539004) - it is radeonhd which fails here.
