Hi,

thanks for the reply. I didn't realise, the monitor section wasn't
associated with the output. I now use Option "Monitor-DVI-0" ... to
associate output with monitor and that works.

If I specify a monitor in the "Screen" section, wouldn't it be natural
to use this monitor's settings as defaults? Or would that create
incompatibilities with legacy systems?

Yes, I used the radeonhd driver once, and if I remember correctly it
picked a more sensible default.
