$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --right-of DVI-0



The output detection in the log looks like this:

(II) RADEON(0): Output VGA-0 using monitor section Configured Monitor
(II) RADEON(0): I2C bus "VGA-0" initialized.
(II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 has no monitor section
(II) RADEON(0): I2C bus "DVI-0" initialized.
(II) RADEON(0): Port0:
 XRANDR name: VGA-0
 Connector: VGA
 CRT1: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC1
 DDC reg: 0x7e40
(II) RADEON(0): Port1:
 XRANDR name: DVI-0
 Connector: DVI-I
 CRT2: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC2
 DFP3: INTERNAL_LVTM1
 DDC reg: 0x7e50



$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768
$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --rotate inverted

it always affects both screens, not just the one I select.

I just switched to the open-source radeon driver, but now I can't get dual-screen to work properly. My system is a Kubuntu 9.04 64-bit using a 2.6.28-13 kernel. The X server is 1.6.0-0ubuntu14, radeon_drv.so says its module version is 6.12.1. My xorg.conf is a Kubuntu stock configuration, i.e. pretty much empty, except for an added Virtual line setting the virtual size to 2560x1024 (two 1280x1024 side-by-side). My rather troublesome video card is a RV516-based AGP no-name card advertising itself as The problem is this: the two screens are detected and xrandr advertises them: VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 338mm x 270mm However, they are in clone-screen mode. I attempt to put them in proper side-by-side mode: This first does nothing for several seconds, then both screens go black for a moment, then come back the way they were before - definitely not giving me more workspace. The same thing happens if I swap the outputs in the command. It seems a bit as if xrandr can't tell my outputs apart, though: if I try to change something about just one screen, say change the resolution or put it upside down: I'll do anything necessary to help track down this problem. I can't work with a single screen, I'm spoiled. Please tell me what to do.
