Xinerama w/ ATI Radeon X600 SE

[eukreign]

I'm trying to setup my ATI Radeon X600 SE to work with two 2005FPW Widescreen LCDs in Xinerama mode.

I'm still at the stage of getting fglrx driver installed. I am able to get X started and both of my monitors show a mirror of each other (although one monitor is more distorted then the other probably because one is using DVI and the other is D-SUB).

I get the impression that fglrx is loading and somewhat working but fgl_glxgears doesn't run for example, so there is definitely something wrong. But what?

Anyways, here is some outputs:

I am now trying FC5t1 and so far i'm having a better experience then FC4. In FC4 the GUI Installer would not start but in FC5t1 it started without any problems. We'll see if X will start after reboot.

FC5t1 didn't work after rebooting (computer kept reseting after grub loaded up the kernel) so it's back to trying to get FC4 to work.

I think I've fixed the driver problem, now it's just a configuration issue.

X starts just fine and I don't see any errors in Xorg.0.log BUT i'm not getting the BigDesktop effective I'm looking for. Instead I see the same thing on both screens.

Edit: Also, it seems like gnome is correctly handling the wider display. The workspaces in the bottom right hand side are double wide. When I open a new browser window it is displayed on the second "screen" (which should be the other monitor). The only problem then is that the second monitor is not showing the second half of the "screen" it's duplicating the first half instead.
