Please file this upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org (the xorg product) and be sure to attach your xorg.conf file. Post the upstream bug URL here. Thanks!
Make sure http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1559 isn't your bug before filing a new one.
I'm having the same problem and 6.8.0-r1 was recently pushed to stable. Below is the hardware I have. I'm planning on commenting on the bug on the freedesktop site, but I'm concerned about this being stable for users of xinerama or any dual+ setups. 0000:00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200 I did the suggestion and used the MonitorLayout option, but after I used that, X keeps segfaulting :( If anything, there shoudl be a warning for dual+ monitor users in the ebuild or possibly move it down :( Unfortunately, we have to wait on upstream to get this fixed it looks like.
It looks like it is that Freedesktop bug, so there is no point in going over there and commenting. Anybody who has been clobbered by this can unclobber themselves by putting ">=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1" in /etc/portage/packages.mask and then re-emerging (this portage shit amazes me sometimes)
Created attachment 42099 [details, diff] Patch for fixing monitor detection bugs This was posted on the freedesktop site [1] earlier. I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet, but hopefully I will tonight. [1] https://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1559
for me the patch from http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1559 works so far
What was the problem you had? I'm curious your hardware and issue. Also, might not hurt to comment on the bug on freedesktop so the developer there knows its working for other things.
hardware is a laptop Acer Aspire 2001 with a ATI Radeon Mobility 9200 in it, connected to a 1600x1200 CRT and the Laptop LCD (1280x800). The effect is what was described in the freedesktop bug and it looks to be causeed by exactly the same thing. I don't know how to add a patch the the Gentoo building process so I'll wait till i realise a new version of the xorg-x11 ebuild comes out (which may be a while as I have it added to my packages.mask atm)
I just verfied that this patch does indeed fix the problem I had. I suggest we include this into the patchset asap! :)
I'll see what I can do about getting it in tonight, but no promises.
Comment on attachment 42099 [details, diff] Patch for fixing monitor detection bugs New updated version of the patch was posted.
Created attachment 42184 [details, diff] xorg_radeon_monitor_fixes.diff New improved version of the patch. I'm going to give this a try later tonight. Please test when you get a chance.
Comment on attachment 42184 [details, diff] xorg_radeon_monitor_fixes.diff Yet another new improved patch was released
Created attachment 42232 [details, diff] xorg_radeon_monitor_fixes.diff New patch posted on the from the freedesktop bugzilla #1559. I never got a chance to try the first one. Perhaps we should wait a few more days to see if they release anymore updated patches for this issue. I'll see if I can test this latest patch tonight.
*** Bug 69760 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed in 6.8.0-r2 in CVS. Please test.
Wanted to report that I applied this patch against 6.8.0-r1 ebuild and I now have LCD+CRT working again on my Mobility 9600-based AMD64 laptop again. Thanks. I had to add MonitorLayout to xorg.conf for this to work.
I just emerged 6.8.0-r3, and unfortunately the Radeon fix does not appear to have been integrated. Fortunately, the last patch still works against r3. I've patched r3, rebuilt and now have external monitor working again.
Yep not in -r3. It's in -r4 and >=6.8.1
