Bug 214136 – >6.6.3-x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati does not work correctly with two radeon cards

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Laurence Withers 2008-03-21 11:36:45 UTC]

I have a machine with two radeon cards (rv370), each dual head. This setup works correctly using Xinerama with the xf86-video-ati-6.6.3 driver. If I try to use a later driver (I have tried 6.8.0 and git repository from today), it fails with the following symptoms:

 1. segfault if xinerama enabled in server flags (so we disable it)
 2. screen 0 works as expected
 3. screen 1 is drawn but mouse cursor is corrupt -- it appears as a white box 
    with some seemingly random black pixels
 3. screen 2 seems to work (mouse is drawn)
 4. X server crashes if mouse is moved onto screen 3.

I will attach log files with the 6.6.3 driver and the git driver.

Please search for this bug upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, and file a new bug if you do not find one already. Either way, I'd appreciate it if you posted a link here so we can track it too. Thanks!
