dual head + additional single head config

8 Nov 2006

      Hi, everybody.

I've problems with my dual head configuration. I added a second grafics 
adapter and a third monitor and now my existing dual head configuration 
yarns. After powering up KDE I will get a behave desktop on the 17" monitor.
The dual head config was crashed. I will get a 1280x25?? desktop over both 19" 
monitors and overlapped something lika a 1024x768 desktop in the left upper 
corner with the kicker bar.

After comment out the line
    Screen         "RadeonScreen" RightOf "NVidiaScreen"
I will get a working dual head config with both 19" monitors.

Does anybody have experiences or could give me a tipp, whats being wrong?

Thanks and best regards,
Christoph

Second graphics adapter:		Radeon 7000 VE
