 Posted: Thu Dec 03, 2009 6:45 am Post subject: [Solved] ATIHD4870 - fglrx, Xinerama, Xrandr reports errors |
 |
|
I'm currently running on ati-drivers 9.10 as the 9.11 drivers gives me garbage performance, my kernel is from vanilla-sources 2.6.31.3.
I have two monitors, one running at 1440x900 and one with 1680x1050 and have Xinerama enabled in my xorg.conf (se below).
My Xorg-server version is 1.6.5 and xmonad 0.9
Each time I start something that reads screen information or if I run xrandr I get the error below, everything else is working as intended.
| Code: | Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
RandR extension missing
|
So I'm wondering how i can get Xrandr working if it is even possible to get with Xinerama.

Shameless bump and some new confusing info

| Code: | | Error: option --query-monitor is not supported when RandR 1.2 is enabled! |
but when i run xrandr i still get
| Code: | Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
RandR extension missing

Got this solved now, or i got aticonfig working as intended by disabling Xrandr. It still leaves my question unanswered if this is the correct thing to do.
To disable Xrandr i have found two options the first using aticonfig to set this.
First i checked with the following | Code: | | sudo aticonfig --get-pcs-key="DDX,EnableRandR12" |
Which returned TRUE and set it to FALSE with: | Code: | | sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-str="DDX,EnableRandR12,FALSE" |
The command doesn't return what it actually set so it could be wise to check it again with the --get-pcs-str again.
It can also be done manually by editing the file /etc/ati/amdpcsdb putting the value EnableRandr12 to SFALSE.
| Code: | [AMDPCSROOT/SYSTEM/DDX]
OGLFMTA2R10G10B10Enable=V1
DisableLoadBalancing=V1
DesktopSetup=Shorizontal,reverse
OverlayOnCRTC2=S1
EnableRandr12=STRUE
|
i also read that adding | Code: | | Option "EnableRandR12" "false" |
under device was needed but it worked without that here. |
