[Intel-gfx] Dual monitor scenario

[Aidan Dixon]

Hi, All

I am attempting to debug a dual monitor situation which I hope someone 
might be able to shed some light.

I have a ViewSonic 1940w on the VGA output and a Dell FP193c on the 
VGA-1 output.  The LVDS output is disconnected via xrandr.  I am using 
Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) with the standard xorg driver (2.1, I believe), I 
have a situation where my second monitor never produces a picture 
(usually a Dell fp193c).    Xrandr correctly sets the CRTCs and as soon 
as the output is routed, the monitor "switches on" out of power-saving 
mode.  (Xrandr also correctly detects the monitor and its capabilities 
and my mode settings are suitable for the hardware available.)  However 
no picture is produced. 

I'm just trying out the Hardy Heron release now so haven't had time to 
see if any recent development in the driver fixes my issue; so pardon me 
if I'm a bit late with this.

BTW, I've joined this community as a long-term thing (not just to get 
answers and then leave) as my employer has a general long-term aim using 
Intel h/w.  I'm most interested in dual-head setups.

Best regards
