Today I tried the latest version of radeonhd from git. I wanted to setup a big desktop consisting of 2 monitors: Sony CPD-E400E CRT at DVI-I_1/analog (DVI-connector) and IBM T56A TFT at DVI-I_2/analog (VGA-connector). The configuration as shown in the attached xorg.conf-file failed. Only the IBM-TFT starts, but the Sony-CRT goes to power saving mode. Now I tried to invert the configuration: IBM-TFT --> DVI-I_1/analog, Sony-CRT --> DVI-I_2/analog. Now the Sony-CRT shows a picture and the IBM-TFT goes to power saving mode. Finally I tried the Sony-CRT alone at each connector, definitely at DVI-I_1/analog it doesn't show a picture. What's going wrong? I send you my Xorg.0.log, xorg.conf and the dump of my VGA-BIOS.

I'm using the radeonhd driver built from git on my debian sid. First of all I tried the ATI proprietary driver, because I wanted a dual-head configuration, but it fails to initialize OpenGL. When trying the radeonhd-driver it works, but it is not possible to set 1600x1200 screen resolution. Perhaps because the card is not detected correctly (as shown in the attached Xorg.0.log)? My card is a GeCube Radeon HD 2400PRO AGP (GC-RX24PGA2-D3):
Latest git has some monitor detection changes, that might help (or make things worse). Also, you might want to add 'Vritual' like described in the wiki on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd
