Has anyone managed to get dualhead working with SuSE9.3 using an ATI
9600 video card?
I've been fighting with it for a while now... and not getting anywhere.
System config:
AMDx64 3000+
ATI9600 video (Identified as RV350 AS)
I've installed the fglrx drive and the kernel modules as the
intructions say on the SuSE ftp site. I've got the fglrx driver
working with one monitor just fine. When I try to setup dual monitor
it fails miserably. It tries to start X and fails... back to the
command line.
I'm out of ideas.... does anyone have any suggestions... or pointers
for getting this working?
Extra info..............
startx as user tries to start up X, but errors out with:
Fatal server error:
__glExtensionInit: AddExtensions failed
Sometimes (depending on what options I enable in xorg.conf) I also get
a bunch of unresolved symbol errors just before the AddExtensions
failed error... something like this:
Symbol firegl_AllocCache from module
/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o is unresolved
lspci gives me:
