The built-in display goes dark and if a second display is plugged-in via VGA port, then that display is usable, however not the built-in display. Is this a bug or a feature? xrandr only shows 1 monitor, even when the second VGA monitor is plugged it.

Hi,

This is probably a bug, but I don't know what is causing it. We would
need to see the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to --maybe-- get some
clues on what is happening.

Also the xf86-video-r128 driver is lagging behind upstream versions
for a mumber of years now. Initially I didn't upgrade it because
upstream version where breaking on my macppc G4. I don't think I'v
tried more "recent" ones like 6.11 or 6.12 though. If I find time for
this, I may be able to send an update patch during the week end.
