You're partially in luck... Miraculously, I actually have an
ATI FireGL X1 256p, and a Dell P991 monitor, however only one of
each. The downside is that the only 2 machines I have with an
AGP Pro slot to plug the FireGL X1 beast into are an Intel
Itanium 2 box (HP zx2000), and my main workstation which is a
huge PITA to reboot, so I avoid ever changing it's video
hardware.
However, if this problem persists and is proven or proven beyond
a reasonable doubt to be a video driver problem using XFree86
4.3.0-37 or later, I'm willing to bite my tongue and put the X1
into my workstation for some debugging.
Of course, only with the OSS drivers, not the fgl ones from ATI.
;o)
Just a note, for dualhead support of any ATI, Matrox, etc.
adaptor, both device sections must contain a BusId, and it must
be identical in both sections (lots of people get this
incorrect). Head 1 section needs a "Screen 0", and head 2 needs
"Screen 1". I have a sample config somewhere on
people.redhat.com in ftp...
Let me know how you make out fiddling/testing. Be sure to use
4.3.0-37 or later.
