Problem with DL 380 G6 and Gnome (Debian Lenny)

Hello,

I have a problem with a G6 DL380 and Debian 5. The Gnome is always starting on the front video-out, on the backside video-out it is possible to start a shell session but no X-Window session. I tried to deactivate the front out in the bios and to configure the xorg.conf in a proper way. But its not possible to get the X-Window on the backside video-out. Xrandr (and two Monitors connected on front on back) tells me the back connection is not existing.

Any ideas?

I tried to find a related topic with the search option but was not succesfull :(

Hi,
what says dmesg, /var/log/messages, printed on screen , when you switch video cable to backside video port and perform "startx" from console ?

Hi

At the moment I can not provide any test results with screen switching because I am working remotely from home.

But here is my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Driver "radeon"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection

there is no X-Server or Gnome relevant output in the dmesg or syslog. Except some complaining about some cryllic fonts...

Hope this was helpfull (at least a bit) . . .
