VESA VBE does not support multihead, so it is not possible to access both heads on one card using the "vesa" driver. Please reconfigure xorg.conf to use the "radeon" driver, and provide a status update. If the problem still exists with the "radeon" driver, please attach your X server log file and config file as individual uncompressed file attachments using the file attachment link below. Please do not paste them into the comment field. Thanks in advance. Created attachment 123795 [details]
xorg.conf, modified to use radeon driver as requested

Xorg log file, after changing Videocard drivers to radeon
system-config-display configures Videocard0 with "vesa", and Videocard1 with "ati". Changing both to "radeon" made no difference". Requested files now attached. (In reply to comment #4) > system-config-display configures Videocard0 with "vesa", and Videocard1 with > "ati". Yep, that's due to missing driver metadata files in test2. Should be fixed in rawhide soon with a driver package update though. Probably sometime next week. > Changing both to "radeon" made no difference". Requested files now > attached. BusID needs to be present in both device sections generally for proper operation. This may also be a system-config-display bug perhaps. Can you add BusID to the other section and test? BusID would be the same for both displays, correct? It didn't make any difference to add it to the other display. (In reply to comment #6) > BusID would be the same for both displays, correct? It didn't make any > difference to add it to the other display. Yes, BusID should be the same for each head in a single card. It is mandatory to supply it in the config file, however our config tool may be broken in this regard (it has been in the past). Does Option "noaccel" help at all? I added Option "noaccel" to both Videocards. It didn't make a difference. Fedora Core 5 test3 has been released. Please update to the latest test release and if the problem is still present, please file a bug report in X.Org bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg" component. Be sure to attach your current X server log, config file and all details directly to the X.Org bugzilla so that the upstream driver maintainers have as many details as possible in order to the issue. Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.
