Hi, I am trying to hook a Sony Vaio running Debian lenny with a Radeon Mobility M6 LY to a projector to demonstrate some animations, using the xv extension.
The basic device section in xorg.conf, as autodetected, is:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
This causes the screen to be cloned to the external display, but any
window in which xv is being used is just blue (which is the
projector default/null colour) on the external display.
Using OpenGL as the output driver works. Unfortunately¸ the
programme I have to use does not support OpenGL, only xv.
I get the same results using "ati" as Driver instead of "radeon".
After searching the web, I tried using the "OverlayOnCRTC2" option,
but apparently that's not in use anymore:
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" is not used
I managed to use xvattr to switch the overlay between the two
screens but I wonder whether it would be possible to get overlay on
*both*n screens?
Thanks for any hints,
