I've been unable to get my Radeon 9000 to work dual head ... with two flat panels, one connected by VGA, the other by DVI-D. Do you think this might be the same problem? For example, DDC detects no valid modes for the digital head, so no display is opened on that head. If so, could you send me a patch against current cvs? I can then try it out on my system.
