[forum] PCI ATI Radeon 9200SE

[Olivier Croquette]

Hi!

I have great difficulties to make Dual Head work on the following card:

Chipset: ATI 9200SE
Bus: PCI
Provider: Sapphire

I am used to configure X servers, manually or using sax2 (the SuSE X 
config tool). I successfully already configured many NVidia cards at work.

But it seems this ATI card doesn't like me. This is the situation:

- lspci reports correctly the PCI ports for this card (0:9:0, 0:9:1)

- trying to use those Ids in 2 different device sections doesn't work 
(still single-head)

- trying to use the "Screen" option doesn't work either (still single-head)

- it seems in the X log file that the cart is recognized as an AGP card, 
which is wrong.

I am currently using the default X server of SuSE 9.2, xorg-x11-6.8.1

I would like to know:

- if anybody ever seen reports of dual head with this card working

- if it could help to try to use the "BusType" option which appeared 
recently in the radeon's driver options to force PCI. If yes, then do I 
have to recompile the complete X server or only the module ?


  Many thanks for any hint, after several days of trial and error, I am 
about to give up :(
