Has anyone managed to get a radeon card to work correctly using two
monitors?
Currently, my card just clones everything on the first monitor onto the
second. Initially, this resulted in my second monitor complaining about
incompatible refresh rates (it's lower res.) but after some tinkering
with my XF86Config file, I managed to get it to clone the screen for X
also, but it still refuses to allow me to use Xinerama.
As I am not sure what the problem is, here is the relevant part of
dmesg, and XF86Config
