[Openchrome-users] Status of drivers?

[Philip Prindeville]

Hi.

I'm still running FC6 on an SP-13000, but I've
also put on the DVI daughter-card, and upgraded
some of the drivers to the FC7 development distro:

I've attached my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log
files.  Note the following:

Was wondering about the following:

* How do I convince my driver that it can (and has in
  the past) support memory fetches fast enough for
  1920x1200 at 60Hz?
* Is there a way to run two outputs (Xinerama or dual-heads)
  on either VGA + SVideo or SVideo + VGA or SVideo + DVI?
* Is DVI even supported yet?

Also, can the man page be fixed?  It says:

via - VIA unichrome graphics driver

and then later on:

Authors include: ...

Hmmmm.  Maybe we could throw in the word "openchrome" somewhere
in the man page?

Thanks,

-Philip
