(Google translation, je ne parle que le franchouilleglais ;) ) Using two screens for some time with no problem. 1- A principal iiyama 1024x768 screen dashboard. 2- Belinea work in a 1280x1024 screen. This on a graphics card ATI Radeon HD4770 (driver "Radeon HD 4870 and earlier") Under Mageia4 to kernel-core 3.12.25-3.mga4 no worries and independent configuration screens are configured. With the arrival of kernel-3.14.* Kernels the system freezes consistently 10, 15 seconds after login. Also with a visually successful display, but the keyboard and mouse do not work (Ctrl + Alt + F1 ...). The discs "scratching" more. No log for recovery. Reset mandatory. I installed Mageia5 Cauldron. And surprise, it works very well again (kernel-desktop-3.17.4-1.mga). But with the arrival of the kernel-desktop-3.18.*. I found exactly the same with figeages Magei4. So I roll in kernel-desktop-3.17.4-1.mga5 To sum up: Mageia4 kernel-desktop-3.12.25-3.mga4 2 screens OK kernel-desktop-3.14.23-1.mga4 2 screens KO !! kernel-desktop-3.14.24-1.mga4 2 screens KO !!

Pascal, do you still have an issue with kernel-desktop-3.18.1-1.mga5 and fglrx-kernel-3.18.1-desktop-1.mga5 ? --- Pascal, est-ce que tu as toujours le même problème avec kernel-desktop-3.18.1-1.mga5 et fglrx-kernel-3.18.1-desktop-1.mga5 ?
CC: (none) => remi
fglrx does not support hw < 5000 series
Ah thank Thomas, so I guess XFdrake needs fixing?
Nope, "Radeon HD 4870 and earlier" only configures free driver
The Problème is the same with kernel-desktop-3.18.1-1.mga5 and free driver
Donc à ce jour cela ne fonctionne toujours pas. En echec avec: kernel-desktop-3.18.0-0.rc7.1.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.0-0.rc7.2.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.0-1.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.0-2.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.1-1.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.1-2.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.1-3.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.1-4.mga5 kernel-desktop-3.18.2-1.mga5 Je reste donc en : kernel-desktop-3.17.4-1.mga5
Problem solved. Under kernel "kernel-desktop-3.18.3-1.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64" and especially updates of these past two days. Thank you.

Since you are using the free driver, does the kernel-3.19.0-0.rc6.1.mga5 in updates_testing work any better ?
This problem is not solved with 3.19.0-desktop-0.rc6.1.mga5 . It is even more unstable. First I have this problem : http://troumad.org/OOo/20150131_152835.jpg After, the server X blocks. I can not always do Ctrl-Alt-F3 for have a shell screen to do "systemctl restart dm". But, with a another computer, I can take control of the computer with the command ssh and after do "systemctl restart dm". After that, the server X restart unstable. For the picture http://troumad.org/OOo/20150131_152835.jpg. When the computer boot, the screen of the mother have problem, the screen of the hard boot have problem (I can take photo if you want). This problem remains after a boot, with 1 ou 2 screen. So that it disappears , I boot with windows (2008 server SP 2, my windows). During the boot the screen are not good (if you want, I can take photo), after, if I open a window , it cleans the screen. And now I can reboot with Linux and this problem no longer appears at startup.

Since yesterday I tested the "kernel-3.19.0-0.rc6.1.mga5." Apart from a freeze with "systemsettings" tool to configure the dual screen (the tool is sensitive and delicate) I have not found a malfunction yesterday. So this morning restarting double screen and it works correctly. To be continued ...
unstable with kernel-desktop-3.17.4-1.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm and 2 screens. the photos : boot, the mother board : http://troumad.org/OOo/CM.jpg grub : http://troumad.org/OOo/grub.jpg grub : http://troumad.org/OOo/grub_2.jpg windows boot : http://troumad.org/OOo/boot_windows.jpg windows boot : http://troumad.org/OOo/X_windows_boot.jp windows screen : http://troumad.org/OOo/X_windows_root.jpg After, I open a window and all become good. I can reboot and run with the next kernel, but only one screen.
I think that the new kernel ( 3.19.0-desktop-0.rc7.3.mga5 ) is goot with 23 screen. mcc found that I have a "RV770 [Radeon HD 4850]". But, when it has found this, it has write in my bash : Warning: skip "is_pciexpress" field => "1" Warning: skip "sysfs_device" field => "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0" Warning: skip "nice_bus" field => "PCI Express" Warning: skip "Handlers" field => "HASH(0x484f440)" modinfo: ERROR: Module Card:ATI Radeon HD 4870 and earlier not found. (see : http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-19382-2.php#m188865 )
With the new kernel ( vmlinuz-3.19.0-desktop-1.mga5 ) it's not good.
vmlinuz-3.19.2-desktop-1.mga5 was not good. The computer with this problem is not use every day.
Today the last kernel ( vmlinuz-3.19.2-desktop-2.mga5 ) scrath with 1 screen only :(

does kernel 4.1.7 in cauldron or mga5 testing work any better ?
Depends on: (none) => 16655
As there was no response to Thomas question for 7 years! and MGA5 is EOL since end of 2017...closing as OLD.
