Okay I had a similar issue when going from Suse 9.3 to 10.0. The xorg.conf I had would no longer work for my dual head setup. Eventually I worked it out, but it was a major pain in the butt. Here I am again, with the same issue. This time I am feeling less optimistic, but am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I have a Compaq evo 610c notebook with a radeon mobility 7500 in it. At work I am using a docking station. Its got both DVI out and regular 15 pin. I had the setup working with the below xorg.conf for the 15 pin. I couldn't get DVI to work with it, so I would guess it still does not work. But no matter what I have tried all I can get is the external monitor to come as a clone of the first instead of the MergedFB extra desktop space I had before. The attached xorg.conf was really a hack on my part but it got it to work. Which was really all I cared about. If anyone has any suggestions or can point to a working example, hopefully using the radeon drivers, I would be most grateful. On a side note, with my desktop. I've been using XGL there , and to get better compatibility I have gone to using Gnome. For some reason if I save my session with Gnome, and then log out and try logging in, it just hangs. I have to go in and clear out the saved session information and then it works again. Very annoying... And I have cut it down to just saving the session (nothing extra running) and it still does it...
