Problem solved. Adding MonitorLayout CRT,CRT to the first device
solved the problem, and I have two monitors running.
I'm now using CVS XFree86 (4.3.99.14).
Thanks alot Alex everyone else.

Now when I start X (using the XF86Config without the Videoram lines, as
suggested in bugs.xfree86.org), I get only one screen -- the other
doesn't even show any life signs.
Looking at the log I see it
I'll open a bug in bugzilla then. Can you (or anyone else) recommend on
what data should I add in the bug-description? Outputs of lspci or
/proc/pci and stuff like that?

lspci, your XF86Config, and your xfree86 log using NON-mergedfb code.
you can mention that mergedfb also doesn't work. Also maybe a link to
this discussion thread.

hmmm...binaries should work. the URL for patches and binaries is:
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276
are you using the CVS (xfree86 or DRI) or 4.3 binaries? if you are
using the DRI binaries, you might need to update your 3D driver as
well. I don't have a 3D driver binary posted at

Yeah, those are the one I'm using.

I'm starting to think this may be a issue with the way your card is
wired. it may be that hercules wired the DACs or outputs in a weird
way that is preventing dualhead from working 'normally.' if you have
no luck going forward, you may want to open a bug on xfree86 bugzilla
Well, MonitorLayout didn't change anything. I think the problem is due
to the agpgart.o module not loading. Apperently there's a problem with
KT400/600 AGP and agpgart.o -- the mainboard uses AGP 3.0, and agpgart.o
doesn't support it in this version.
Does anyone know in which kernel version
Moving on... I install kernel 2.6-test5, which is supposed to have
better via-agp support.
Now when I start X the second monitor simply stays black. However --
it's power-led is lit, which means some information is moving from the
computer to the monitor (in console mode the second monitor's
Your log looks fine. Direct rendering seems to be enabled. Whether or
not DRI gets enabled shouldn't have anything to do with MergedFB.
try removing:
Option AGPMode 4
and:
Viewport 0 0
from your config.
What patch did you use? also, what version of xfree86 did

your log looks fine. the only thing I see is that direct rendering is
disable because AGP is not available. you probably need to make sure
the apggart kernel module is loaded. I load the agpgart.o and radeon.o
kernel modules in my rc.local script.
in regards to the weird behavior, you might
remove these lines from your config:
Option CloneDisplay 0
Screen 0
Option EnablePageFlip true
Pageflipping doesn't work too well with mergedfb as of yet. right now
it only works well with crtc2 right of crtc1 and even then it has
issues when in a clone
