Michel,

Thanks for your suggestions, and sorry for the delayed reply. I've tried
these now, and still no luck getting multiple Radeon 9000 cards to work. I
also tried doing another fresh build from CVS as of yesterday. I still get
the same errors as before, irrespecitve of glx or radeon/ati driver
choice.

I guess what I'll do for the time being is use an analog VGA card for the
third head, and try again with the dual radeons later. I would just get a
different card, but these were the only ones I could find that were PCI
with a DVI connector. Can anyone recommend a better setup than the dual
PCI radeons + one AGP Nvidia? I just need three outputs @ 1600x1200 DVI.

I've still got a couple weeks to return these cards if they're not going
to work multi-head.

Thanks again,

Sean

Sounds like multi card Xinerama is broken in the radeon driver to me,
but: does not loading the glx module make a difference? What about
specifying "radeon" for driver instead of "ati"? Not that I expect these
to make a difference...

No. Do you have /usr/X11R6/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig since
installing from CVS?
