Thanks Alex. If you've a spare moment would you mind looking at my current XF86Config file? http://www.656.org/ati/XF86Config The XFree86.0.log is at http://www.656.org/ati/XFree86.0.log Just please let me know if something jumps out as being horribly wrong (I've stripped comments, so it is pretty easy to read through). I submitted a second email concerning my problem yesterday with more accurate information. Mainly that the chipset is an IGP 320M, not 340M as I had previously believed. When defining two screens, two monitors, and two devices and I am getting a clone of the primary head on the secondary head. Xinerama says that it is enabled in the log, but you couldn't tell by looking at the display. From the bugzilla record below I gather I'll need the cvs to use the patch. Is this correct? Thanks for your help.
