Are you using the binary ATI drivers, or the default xorg drivers? ATI has horrible support, and their binary driver is just as bad. Do yourself a favor and get an nvidia card. Still a binary driver, but at least they actively support their product on linux.
I'm using whatever CentOS 5 comes with - the default xorg drivers I would guess. I can't just get a new video card - this is my company's box, so it's their call on what cards to get with them. The strange part is that I was well able to limp along in CentOS 4.4 by telling s-c-d that I had a FireGL 3200 (I think - the 3400 wasn't supported) and two Dell 1704FPs (the 1707 wasn't supported then either), and it worked 99% of the time (except for my other thread about how it went flaky last Thursday and did work quite right again). I would have thought that CentOS 5 was better about this, and the FireGL card is listed (but it doesn't work when I try to use it) and the 1707FP is supported (but not if I go for a dual head configuration), so ... ???
