Hi Folks,
System: Fedora release 16 (Verne) KDE: 4.8.4 (4.8.4) I'm new to Fedora and KDE so please excuse me if I am posting in the wrong place. I am attempting to set up two monitors and am having trouble getting Fedora to recognise the second monitor - at present, all the second monitor displays is a mirror of the first. Here's what I've been able to gather: 1) The Display Info in the Sysinfo screen is blank 2) The Display and Monitor Window in System Settings only shows one monitor (default) - Clicking on "Identify Monitor" shows "default" on both screens 3) lspci -vv shows: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3470 (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device 3243 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 2: Memory at e1420000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Region 4: I/O ports at 2000 [size=256] Expansion ROM at e1400000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel modules: radeon 4) xorg.conf has: Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vesa" EndSection 5) xrandr gives: xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1440 x 900, maximum 1440 x 900 default connected 1440x900+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1440x900 0.0* 640x480 0.0 Any help would be very gratefully received. Kind Regards, Luke |

Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log - if really in use, i doubt the vesa driver can do multiscreen. Notice that there's a difference between the radeon kernel module and the Xorg driver. You want to install xf86-video-ati |
