Multiseat - radeonhd Mon, Feb 2. 2009


Two users, two monitors, two mice, two keyboards, two ATI video cards, one computer. Now if it would just stay stable while the mice and keyboards are being used, like in the good old (F8) days...

Just wondering: Why do you use radeonhd instead of radeon? The latter is the default in Fedora, default in X.org and maintained upstream by a RH engineer/Fedora developer -- the latter might make things a whole lot easier if you need changes in the drivers.

Until yesterday (on IRC) I was not aware that the radeon driver now supports R710's. I'll test again with radeon when time permits.

Neat. Due to the fact that they are running on speperate video cards, do both seats get DRI?

Not with radeonhd, yet. I'm starting to work with the radeon driver now that it supports R710. Bug 19956 is a bit of a showstopper, though (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19956).
