Has anyone tried using fglrxconfig on an ATI Radeon 7000? I've been poking around trying to find ways to make the multihead part of the card work (using SuSE9.2), and everything I have found so far seem to point to fglrxconfig and needing a newer video card :-(
How about using DRI rather than fglrx, with mergedfb for the dualhead bit?
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/MergedFB
I have used this very successfully in the past (with a Radeon 9000, but I think it will work on a 7000).
The saga continues :-) So, a combination of things seems to have given me the two monitor output i wanted. i had to edit my XF86Config, not the xorg.config file... I told it I had 2 video cards, and configured a monitor for each... then I manually added in the MergedFB options and restarted X. It works... sort of. My fonts are out of control now. Firefox fonts are HUGE... about 64 point. Seems only to be related to Firefox and Mozilla apps... and only in the application fonts (the title bar, menus etc.). Any ideas why? C
