Is this a defect in RS690 or just the ASUS design ?
(are other models by other board manufacturers affected as well ?)

I'm trying to get the projector Panasonic PT-AX200E to work on my Asus M2A-VM-HDMI board using a HDMI connection. I setup up a dual monitor configuration according to the example given in the wiki. The other monitor is connected to the board via DVI. So I want to use to digital outputs simultaneously. In theory this should work using this hardware.
Unfortunately, it will only work in clone mode, always:
DVI-D_1 disconnected (normal) RANDR_OUTPUT_NUMBER: 2 (0x00000002)
DVI-D_2 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (0x47) normal (normal) 376mm x 301mm RANDR_OUTPUT_NUMBER: 2 (0x00000002)
Connectors with the same output number can only display cloned images. This is due to hardware(!) wiring on the boards, the board maker used the same output for different connectors. Bad, ugly. These connectors cannot even be switched on and off independently, and this can result in *very* obscure behavior. The RandR model isn't flexible enough to reflect this.
I'm still thinking about misusing the possible_clones field for that, but that would restrict us to having only one cloned-only pair (two in some circumstances), and wouldn't allow us to use cloning in all situations where it actually would make sense.
(WW) RADEONHD(0): RandR: While switching off DVI-D_1: output TMDS B is also used by DVI-D_2 - ignoring
This line in the log indicates this (hardware) configuration.
Bad luck
