There are some people who make that claim, but I have yet to see it proven true in front of my eyes. So please don't state it as if every single Radeon user is going to experience the problem you claim as that is not true. I personally consider it end user misconfiguration until I see an actual reproduceable test case which I can reproduce on one of the 20+ Radeon cards I have here. Since the config tool does not handle dualhead configuration, it isn't a surprise that users misconfigure it left and right, as it isn't a particularly easy process for many to get it correct. Perhaps users who do have it workign will share their configurations with those that don't. I have made this response with the specific intent of not having all Radeon users scared away by possible misinformation because one or 2 people have a problem that might very well be lack of proper configuration. One thing is for sure though, until an actual bug can be reproduced by a developer somewhere, then it is nothing more than an unknown phenomenon which may be a bug or may be misconfiguration. Until a bug is proven and a test case exists nobody can or will fix it. On the contrary, when a test case does exist, which is reproduceable and is proven to not be misconfiguration, then someone can investigate what is causing it. I await that test case. -- Mike A.
