Description cruzki 2007-04-30 14:41:00 UTC

I have a xinerama setup with an ati r128 and a s3: 
 
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF 
02:08.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c775/86c785 [Trio 64V2/DX or /GX] (rev 16) 
 
Yesterday I update to xorg-server 1.3, up to that moment every configuration file works perfectly, now if I start the X system without xinerama (only with the r128) all it's perfect, but If I start with the xinerama setup the X system spend 2 o 3 minutes and don't show anything in the screen. When I look the logs I see that the X system hangs in the s3 part but they don't do any errors. I can't see the cursor and the system don't respond to a ctr+alt+sup or ctr+alt+ret. 
 
 I recompiled xf86-video-ati xf86-video-s3 xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse and I have the same behaviour. 

No I went back to xorg-server-1.2.0-r3 and it's working.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update to xorg-server 1.3
2. try to startx with a s3 videocard
3. system hangs and don't respond to anything



Expected Results:  
work with a s3 videocard

xorg.conf with the xinerama config

I use a symbolic link to change between xorg-config. Here is the xorg-config with the xinerama option enable.

Donnie, it was my understanding that Xinerama was only broken for the Intel driver.  Is it actually broken for everything in 1.3?

Shouldn't be. I haven't tested lately. I didn't even realize it was broken on intel.

Comment 6 cruzki 2007-05-01 08:06:04 UTC

Err no, the problem does not in the xinerama setup. If I try to start ONLY with the s3 card I get the same behaviour.

Perhaps next time, you don't even need to mention Xinerama if it's irrelevant to the problem. It's a little confusing, as you can see. =)
