After installing the last upgraded packages, my xserver started ignoring
xinerama configuration in lower mentioned xorg.conf - ideas

Can you try 1:1.9.99.dfsg.1-1 currently in experimental? It's the new RandR
1.2 driver. It is supposed to make dual head management easier (but it is
not very stable yet). You'll have to update your xorg.conf for RandR 1.2,
see http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/12835.html

I reconfigured xorg.conf according to bgoglin's blog entries - but it
still doesn't look that good:

Looks like I now have an 2048x1024 screen on my 1280x1024 display

With some help from #debian-x (thanks, guys) it's now WFM for me. What
did I do:

1) install xserver-xorg-video-mga from experimental (1:1.9.99.dfsg.1-1)

2) remove xorg.conf

3) change the display plugs (DVI <-> VGA)

4) use xrandr --output DVI --left-of VGA

I had to do step 3) since --right-of only blanked the right (the DVI
one) display. Xinerama existed, I could move the mouse onto that display
(but it also blackened)

I'll add xrandr output as well as the Xorg.0.log

reopen 444114 Peter Schwindt <schwindt@ba-loerrach.de>
thank you



Reopening after talking with Tilman about
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12575

< bgoglin> tilman: what are the symptoms of bug #12575?
< tilman> bgoglin: it's 50% of debian's #444114
< tilman> #444114 should be reopened btw
< tilman> bgoglin: the guy found a workaround, but it's fixable
< tilman> with #12575 fixed, it will work if you jump to a vt and go
back again
< tilman> i haven't figured out yet why it doesn't work without the
entervt/leavevt :(

These bugs should be fixed in 1.9.100 that I just uploaded (with a typo
in the closers in the changelog...). It contains fixes for upstream
bugs #615, #12575 and #12598.
