I have a dual head radeon 9600 problem running in linux stable. This problem did not occur in 6.8.2, and originally showed up in 6.9.0. I "solved" the problem by rolling back to 6.8.2, but now it seems the problem is not going to be fixed, most likely because no one else reported it.
<br><br>The problem is that in X windows, the image on the primary monitor is copied is displayed on the second monitor. HOWEVER, it believe it's displaying 2 different images, and I can scroll the mouse onto the second montior. However, I cannot interact with anything on that screen, as they are not really "there." For example, when I started firefox, it started in the second window, and i had to "guess" where it was showing up and drag it onto the main monitor.
<br><br>I know just about nothing regaurding xorg, so I have pieced my config file together from things I've found online.<br><br>Again, up until the migration to 6.9.0 this config worked for me. I'm running to 21" crt monitors.
