I have a G98 [GeForce 9300 GS] and I run Arch Linux. Xorg is 1.7. I have 2
monitors and with nvidia, they worked. With nouvea without KMS they also
worked, but if I turn KMS on, then I get this:
[f@localhost ~]$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 310mm
x 230mm
1024x768 85.0*+ 85.0 75.1 70.1 60.0
1280x1024 60.0
800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 72.8 75.0 60.0
720x400 70.1
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
[f@localhost ~]$ grep MODULES= /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="nouveau"
I put
nouveau.modeset=1
in my kernel line in grub.lst to turn KMS on. With it off, two monitors work,
but it's buggy:
1. I also have a bug with nouveau that sometimes colors change at random in FF
and Thunderbird. What happens it that half the text on a page on FF suddenly
goes white, for no known reason. I must restart FF and then it's OK.
2. The whole system is very slow. When I launch an app or save a spreadsheet,
it takes literally a few seconds. Should be fast on a dual core 2G CPU with 2 G
RAM.
I attached what I hope are the relevant files. I run use Xfce 4.6.1. Sorry they
are zipped, but the files are not small. It's dmesg ouput and Xorg.0.log.
I am using nouveau-drm : 20091111 which I got via this:
ftp://ftp.rez-gif.supelec.fr/Linux/archlinux/testing/os/i686/nouveau-drm-0.0.15_20091111-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
I tried with stable nouvea and it was the same, so I tried this version. Both
are the same.
I hope this is the relevant information.
Thanks.

Can you retry with latest git? Things should be fairly OK now I'd imagine.

No reaction from reporter for over a year and dualhead working quite reliable
for many people. We could consider this as fixed.
