Upgrading from XFree86 to Xorg broke my dual head xinerama setup. This same
setup worked perfectly well with XFree86 4.3

The following is the relevant info from Xorg.0.log:


It isn't always immediately obvious which parts are relevant. Please
consider using the reportbug tool, which will include pretty much all
the information that could be relevant.


Well, if there was something you were missing to diagnose the problem I apologize. However, it seems to me that you understood it pretty well anyway based on the response below.



(II) RADEON(0): Primary:
 Monitor   -- CRT
 Connector -- VGA
 DAC Type  -- Primary
 TMDS Type -- NONE
 DDC Type  -- VGA_DDC
(II) RADEON(0): Secondary:
 Monitor   -- NONE
 Connector -- DVI-I
 DAC Type  -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
 TMDS Type -- Internal
 DDC Type  -- DVI_DDC
...
(WW) RADEON(0): Failed to detect secondary monitor, MergedFB/Clone mode disabled
...
(WW) RADEON(1): Only one monitor detected, Second screen will NOT be created


FWIW, you should be able to work around this using something like

	Option	"MonitorLayout" "CRT,CRT"

See the radeon(4x) manpage.



Doesn't work. I have tried all possible combinations of CRT, TDMS and LDVS and none of them works.

I have two Benq FP731 LCD monitors.
