I have read through all available information in the forums and on this site regarding two monitors in Linux. I have a working RedHat 8.0 dual monitor configuraton using a Radeon 8500 (dual head). However, on a second computer with two video cards I cannot get two monitors to run.
Setup: Dual P3@450MHz, 256Mb RAM, AGP ATI Radeon VE, PCI "Powered By ATI" Radeon 7500. The DVI output from both cards go through "DVIator"s so that I can use 2, 15" Mac Studio Displays.
This configuration works fine in WinXP. So my question is, how does one setup the XF86Config file to recognise two cards? lspci gives me the address of the PCI card (PCI:0:16:0), and I use this in the device configuration. The log file however says XFree86 cannot find an appropriate device. I can get either card working individually, but not both at once.
Can someone post a working XF86Config file for 4.2.0 that has both a AGP and PCI cad working? Thanks.

Hey Instead of trying to put the xf86config together yourself... why not let xfree86 try to do it for you.. at least to get you started :)
as root
XFree86 -configure
it writes an xf86config into your root's home dir and they you can use that as a working base :)...
if you wanna see a larger xf86config look at http://r0gu3.codices.net/?XF86Config

The problem with using the PCI Radeon 7500 seems to come from the definition of the card in XFree86. While XFree86 loads, the 7500 is listed as being AGP, there is no driver for the PCI 7500. Since only one AGP card possible, the definition diables one card or the other. Hopefully in the next XFree86 release (4.3) this will be fixed to include the PCI version of the card.
