** Description changed:
Binary package hint: desktop-base
I'm running a dual headed setup on my Compaq laptop. The video card I
have is the ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 PCIE.
I've installed the fglrx X.org driver (not the kernel module though) and it works fine. If I start X directly without gnome and use the
Option "SWCursor" in the xorg.conf file the cursor looks fine on both screens. However, if I kick off gnome (gdm works fine until you login) then it crashes and leaves a message in the log that goes something like this:
- Bug: Scheduling while atomic X/000000 (some numbers).
+ Bug: scheduling while atomic: Xorg/0x00000001/5248
So I try it without the "SWCursor" option. In this case I get a square
cursor that seems to be filled with random bits on the second desktop,
but the cursor on the first desktop doesn't have any problems. Under
this configuration everything works, the cursor just isn't a normal
pointer.
Here's my xorg.conf file. Let me know if you need anything else.
