The BIOSHotkeys and MergedNonRectangular options are unknown on my Fedora Core 4 with xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2. Asgeirn 09:39, 28 Sep 2005 (CEST)

MergedFB messes up LCD screen

When I try to used any MergedFB configuration, my laptop screen goes crazy. I can see from the screen and the Xorg logs that the second monitor is setup and the mergedfb is active, but the laptop screen is completely unreadable, even when I switch back to the VTs in text mode. The screen is just a blur of colors. This happens no matter what the mergedfb size is. My system is a T41 (2373-7FU) with Radeon 7500 M7 LW.

Xinerama works just fine, but of course there is no direct rendering.

Sounds like a refresh rate issue. Try the xorg.onf snippet in ATI Mobility Radeon X300.
