Hi Peter Hutterer and/or Dave Airlie,
What is wrong with the following xorg.conf file that it won't use the
second monitor? The second monitor in fact goes into power saving mode
the instant X starts. The graphic card is HIS Radeon HD 6450, running on
latest 64 bit Archlinux full system upgrade. I've spent days using
google to try to find out how to fix this problem, trying every solution
suggested, but to no avail so far. Without Xinerama X can't load at all.
