Dual Head with ATI (DVI + VGA)

[Michael Gebhart]

Hi,

ok I tried it out, but it doesn't work better :( With xinerama it
doesn't recognize my second monitor.

I have tried to use MergedFB.

Here is my config:

http://www.miketech.net/xorg/mergedfb3/xorg.conf

And here is the log:

http://www.miketech.net/xorg/mergedfb3/Xorg.0.log


As you can see, everything seems to work fine. Both screens are detected
correctly with the correct resolutions. But both screens are blank. I
have set the monitorlayout to "crt,tmds" instead of "tmds,crt". This is
also the result if i use "auto,auto".

But in the man pages it is said, that I should use "tmds,crt". But with
"tmds,crt" the second monitor works, but the first one (Dvi) is not
detected correctly. The needed resolution is not found. 

So obviously I should use "crt,tmds" to have the right configuration,
but "tmds,crt" to get any useful output on the screens.

No idea, what I could do :(

Greetings

Mike
