Hi, I am trying to get RHEL 5 to display on two dual Dell 2407WFP monitors in spanning mode but without success. The hardware is a Dell Optiplex 745 with ATI X1300 PCI graphics controller. There is only 1 DVI connector on the ATI X1300 controller, and the two Dell monitors are connected using a Y-piece cable. The ATI X13000 spec did indicate the support of two monitors with independent resolution controls. With the system-config-display configurator, the standard RHEL 5 does not recognise the ATI x1300 controller, but reports it as ATI unknow device 7183. It then uses vesa device driver. The two monitors display as a mirrorred set, even with dual head selected. With the ATI-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run, the fglrx driver is loaded, and it gives occasionally 1900x1200 resolution, but often falls back to 1600x1200 mysterously. Still, the two monitors are displaying as a mirror to each other. Did try to invoke aticonfig --initial=dual-head, but not much joy. Wonder if anyone has got any joy/idea on this? Thanks.
