XVR-2500 dual screen
Hello everybody,
I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the graphics card xvr-2500 (in an Ultra 45).
I connected a Sun 19" LCD to each of its DVI connectors and wanted to use one wide virtual screen.
The only option I found was using:
fbconfig -doublewide enable
I did activate the second output. However without the xinerama extension, so GNOME had no chance of recognising the monitor edges. Maximizing windows lead to huge dimensions (2560x1024)... A bit toooo wide for poor old vi :-D
My previous workstation (a sun blade 1500) had an XVR-100 built in, which (with doublewide enabled) emulated 2 cards that could be "reunited" using xinerama and voila! You could actually see 2 framebuffers in the list:
/dev/fbs/pfb0
/dev/fbs/pfb0a
/dev/fbs/pfb0b
The XVR-2500 shows only one device!
Using fbconfig -gui (included with SUNWdcm) didn't provide any helpfull parameters either.
Any input would be greatly appreciated :-)
Have a nice day...
David
