Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get a dual head setup working on my Radeon HD 4870, but I'm having some trouble. I'm new at FreeBSD (although not to *nix), so I apologize in advance if the solution is obvious.
I'm using two Dell monitors: a U3011 (2560x1600 60) and a 2048WFP (1920x1200 60). I have the 2048WFP rotated 90 degrees and to the right of the U3011. Both monitors appear in my xrandr output:
After adding a "Virtual 3760 1920" line to my xorg.conf, I can also run the following command without errors (hence the "current 3760 x 1920" in the above output):
The problem is that the rotated monitor (on DVI-1) stays in "power save" mode regardless of what I do. The monitor is on and connected, and displays syscons output without problems, but it stubbornly refuses to display anything when X is running.
Here is my xorg.conf (edited slightly for brevity):
I might be missing something obvious, since I had the exact same dual head setup working with X (and xrandr) working with Arch Linux a few weeks ago. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads/responds!
