xorg.conf nx7000 dual head problem

[Korpelainen, Seppo]

I had this same problem with Amilo D8830 laptop.
This laptop has ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 M9 graphic controller,
and I have a Viewsonic VP201S TFT -monitor in the external
VGA connector.

Try adding the option:

Option      "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"

into the primary Videocard0 Device section.
More options are available with: "man radeon"

If you take a look at the xorg log file at
/var/log/Xorg.0.log you can probably find a line
"(WW) Only one monitor detected, primary screen will NOT be created"
or similar.

This configuration is working ok for me otherwise, but
for some unknown reason I can't use mode 5 as the default
runlevel in the /etc/inittab anymore. The boot process will 'hang'
in the end of the rc5.d scripts and never opens the gdm screen.

If I set the runlevel at 3, login in text mode and
use "startx" to start X everything works ok.

My xorg.conf is available at:
