I was trying to set up a computer with dual head and install an ATI 9250 AGP
card and an ATI 9250 PCI card. When I go to display and select Dual Head I
can setup the card resolution and Color Depth and the monitor, but even after
reboot the second screen still doesn't show anything. It just stays blank.
Is there anything else I should look at.
Can you send the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and lspci ...
Does the agp card actually have dual ports (a vga and a dvi). how about
the pci?
which card initializes first?
following is xorg.conf
