I have two old Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards in a 4 head monitor
configuration I'd like to get working with Xrandr 1.4 if possible. I
built my linux system entirely from source code, so I am not using any
particular premade linux distribution. I am presently running linux
kernel 3.14. The X11 system (Xorg) is also built entirely from the
latest release source code (no prerelease), and so is post-"xorg 7.7".
(Xorg 7.7 is the latest Katamari release - June 6, 2012).
I am using the following :
Mesa 10.6.5
randrproto 1.5.0
libXrandr 1.5.0
xrandr 1.4.3
xf86-video-ati 7.5.0
The two Radeon cards have a crossfire cable connected between them. They
are presently working well in a 4 head Xinerama configuration using the
open source driver listed above (xf86-video-ati 7.5.0)
I have tried starting X without any xorg.config files so that Xinerama
is not in
effect. After starting the X server, I did the following:
xrandr --listproviders # saw two providers
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
clear;xrandr | grep DVI # saw only DVI-0 and DVI-1
The others should have been DVI-2 and DVI-3, but they do not appear in
the report. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
