Hi,

Great thanks for all the replies. I tried it again. It seems that this
is the problem:

	< (**) RADEON(0): Option "MonitorLayout" "lvds, crt"
	561,564d559
	< (WW) RADEON(0): Invalid Monitor type specified for 2nd port
	< (**) RADEON(0): MonitorLayout Option:
	< 	Monitor1--Type lvds, Monitor2--Type crt

The primary monitor should the internal LCD built in the laptop, and
the second monitor should an external 19' LCD connected to a VGA port.
Should I change it a little bit?

If you need the full log and other information, I'ved listed it here:
http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~ycao/log.txt

Thank you so much for all your help.

Regards

Eddie
