Hi,

I have read that there is some limitations with radeon 9250 card using
the two heads. I have bought another card (the same but in PCI
version), I can't make it working at all.
(I explain my main problem in another post but I prefer to not mix
them!)

extract of the log:

(II) Primary Device is:

(--) Chipset ATI Radeon 9250 5960 (AGP) found
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon 9250 5960 (AGP) found


Of course I have a device section (device "PCI") with the correct BusID 
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "PCI"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "ATI"
        BoardName   "Radeon"
        Screen      1
        BusID       "PCI:0:11:0"
#       Option "CRT2HSync"   "30-96"
#       Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50-160"
#       Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024-1024x768"
#        Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf"
EndSection

(for" AGP" device  the screen is 0 and the BusID is "PCI:1:0:0"

Why the second device is not found? Is there an option to recognize it??
