Dual Head (Please help, I'm clueless)

[zacharysturgeon]

I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Graphics card with DVI, VGA, and composite video outputs. I tried using the System > Administration > Display ustility, but that never worked correctly. I tried putting in an older card, and the computer behaved as if there was a spanning desktop (The mouse could completely move off the primary monitor), But my second monitor displayed a "Signal Out of Range" error. So I pulled the card out and connected it to the DVI output, but I just see the exact same thing on each monitor. After editing my xorg.conf file for the hundredth time, I decided to ask here. Here is my xorg.conf:


# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

It's been a while since I've used an ATI card, but isn't there a seperate package you can download via yum (i believe from livna) that installs an ATI control panel? This is a seperate control panel from the System/administration/display option. I'm not 100 percent on the package name but I believe it's fglrx-conrol or fireglcontrol or something to that affect. Once you get this installed you can simply manage your displays from this menu rather than having to manually edit your xorg.conf everytime.

I'd prefer not to use the ATI driver, because last time I used it, it ended up not working and completely screwing up my entire system. Can't I just change something in my xorg.conf, or do I have to download a different driver?

Am I going blind, or do I read twice the very same "Monitor 1" definition?
