FW: Debian multiscreen onHD5850

[Mikolajczyk, Daniel]

Hi,
SOLVED ...
I just solved the multi screens in Debian "sid". 
1.) Updating kernel 2.6.32.5.
2.) purging any fglrx remains
3.) install driver from sid repository ( xf86-video-ati )
4.) X -configure -modulepath /path/to/modules
5.) edit xorg.conf to suit needs
VOILA
Still unresolved why newest trunk xf86-video-ati produce black screen on second monitor. But testing further.
Thank you

Hi,
I partially solved the problem. Completely removal of fglrx reminders and xorg.conf gives display on both screens ( DVI-1, DVI-0 ) on first card ( radeon 5850 twin setup).
There is still problem with authomatic "xorg.conf" creation through "X -configure" because of segmentation fault. Second problem is second screen goes black just after xorg.conf is configured and xorg restarted.
There is also "/dev/fb" missing report in X.org.log.
Please, any advice.
Thank you

Hi,
I got problem with Debian and 4 screens on 2xSapphire HD5850 ? Explicitly they are black except main screen. One screen works fine others black -I tried many configuration possibilities and wondering if anyone could point me to the right place/solution. I tried to send logs and xorg.conf but It seems they were too big.

Any help please.
