Re: trouble getting dual head ati 7000 to work



Try again with the "monitorlayout" option.

As far as what tree to use... ther's no right answer.

if you want support from redhat - use redhat 4.3.0.  It contains a fair
amount of the improvements from cvs, not sure which.

xfree86 cvs - the latest and greatest X.  contains all the latest
updates, but an older DRI

DRI cvs - The latest and greatest for 3D.  contains a fairly recent
version of xfree86 cvs, but all the latest DRI developments, also my
mergedfb code.
