Bug#474098: xserver-xorg-video-i810: No second head displa..

Brice,

I installed the xorg packages from unstable as you suggested.
Actually I had to purge the old ones first as there was a weird problem
with fonts (Display was fine but no chars showed anywhere)

Problem still exists.
Display switching between X and console also still broken, but that's another
bug

I suspect the sync loss message may be a red herring as it only starts
to show itself once I turn the second monitor off

> (EE) intel(0): First SDVO output reported failure to sync
I'll verify this behaviour tonight.

The driver in unstable is just that... I had problems when I killed the
Xserver to try other config file options. It hung the machine a couple of
times, and once, though the machine stayed up the display had a "white out"
that wouldn't go away (control was via an ssh session)
I had to power cycle the machine to fix it.

Is there any debug or extra logging I can switch on to get more info
on whats going on?



Cheers


Jan.

Which xserver-xorg-core and -video-intel are you using these days? Does
intel 2.3.1 work better?
