hacky sisctrl for radeon

I've done a dirty hack to let sisctrl run against a server with a
radeon card, it doesn't contain any useful functionality apart from
CRT1 redetect which actually does a complete monitor redetect cycle,
This code[1] allows me to plug a VGA monitor into my laptop and have
it clone itself once I click in sisctrl, the output on my VGA looks
bad (timings look wrong),
ideally I suppose you would xrandr to a lower resolution first and
then redetect or something,
The main reason I've put the patch up is for the two changes in
radeon_driver.c:RADEONPreInitModes
- if (!pScrn->monitor->DDC && info->ddc_mode) {
+ if (!pRADEONEnt->MonInfo1 && !pRADEONEnt->MonInfo2 && info->ddc_mode) {
info->ddc_mode = FALSE;
xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_INFO,
"No DDC data available, DDCMode option is dismissed\n");
Shouldn't we make sure both monitors don't have DDC Modes?? or should
we have two ddc mode flags?
*/
if (!pRADEONEnt->HasSecondary) {
+ pScrn->monitor->DDC = pRADEONEnt->MonInfo2;
xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_INFO,
"Validating CRTC2 modes for MergedFB
------------ \n");
xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_INFO,
"Total of %d CRTC2 modes found for
MergedFB------------ \n",
modesFound);
+ pScrn->monitor->DDC = pRADEONEnt->MonInfo1;
}
Should we not be checking the CRTC2 modes on the second monitor?
I'm not sure if I'll get much more done with this, it was a pretty
simple hack to do while at XDC and I just got it to a semi-workable
point now, I don't think the SISCTRL extension is going to be suitable
for anything but SIS but I do like Thomas's sisctrl application :-)
