take a look at the new radeon man page. You might try adding the
option "MonitorLayout"
from the man page:
Option "MonitorLayout" "string"
This option is used to overwrite the detected monitor types. This
is only required when driver makes a false detection. The possible
monitor types are:
NONE -- Not connected
CRT -- Analog CRT monitor
TMDS -- Desktop flat panel
LVDS -- Lapto flat panel
This option can be used in following format:
Option "MonitorLayout" "[type on primary], [type on secondary]"
For example, Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, TMDS"
Primary/Secondary head for dual-head cards:
(when only one port is used, it will be treated as the primary
regardless)
Primary head:
DVI port on DVI+VGA cards
LCD output on laptops
Internal TMDS prot on DVI+DVI cards
Secondary head:
VGA port on DVI+VGA cards
VGA port on laptops
External TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards
The default value is undefined.

I have a system running XFree86 4.3 and a Radeon 7500 VE dual head
card. I'm running \
the heads using Xinerama. I can't get to that box right now, so I
can't include the \
config files. For some reason, this box randomly locks up or reboots.
I think it's \
probably the video card/drivers, but I don't know since I can't make it
happen \
consistently. I'm pretty familiar with Linux, but I don't know much
about X.
Are there any known issues with the Radeon drivers locking up in 4.3?
I can't find \
anything that matches this problem in Bugzilla.
I tried to update to the CVS drivers built by Alan Hourihane. When I
replace the \
XFree86 and radeon_drv.o files and try to start X, all I get are blank
monitors. I \
can back out of X with ctrl+alt+backspace, but the screens stay off. I
usually have \
to shutdown blindly at this point and switch the file back to get
things working \
again. Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.
