[Nouveau] [Bug 25088] New: Nouveau and KMS doesn't support dual monitors
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25088 Summary: Nouveau and KMS doesn't support dual monitors Product: xorg Version: unspecified Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Driver/nouveau AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: fredthejonester at gmail.com QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org Created an attachment (id=31201) --> (http://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=31201) Files I have a G98 [GeForce 9300 GS] and I run Arch Linux. Xorg is 1.7. I have 2 monitors and with nvidia, they worked. With nouvea without KMS they also worked, but if I turn KMS on, then I get this: [f at localhost ~]$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 310mm x 230mm 1024x768 85.0*+ 85.0 75.1 70.1 60.0 1280x1024 60.0 800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) [f at localhost ~]$ grep MODULES= /etc/mkinitcpio.conf # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs" MODULES="nouveau" I put nouveau.modeset=1 in my kernel line in grub.lst to turn KMS on. With it off, two monitors work, but it's buggy: 1. I also have a bug with nouveau that sometimes colors change at random in FF and Thunderbird. What happens it that half the text on a page on FF suddenly goes white, for no known reason. I must restart FF and then it's OK. 2. The whole system is very slow. When I launch an app or save a spreadsheet, it takes literally a few seconds. Should be fast on a dual core 2G CPU with 2 G RAM. I attached what I hope are the relevant files. I run use Xfce 4.6.1. Sorry they are zipped, but the files are not small. It's dmesg ouput and Xorg.0.log. I am using nouveau-drm : 20091111 which I got via this: ftp://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/Linux/archlinux/testing/os/i686/nouveau-drm-0.0.15_20091111-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz I tried with stable nouvea and it was the same, so I tried this version. Both are the same. I hope this is the relevant information. Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.

Things should be fairly OK now I'd imagine. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
