The attached XF86Config will give me the two displays (second display is a Dell 1024x768 LCD attached to the laptop's VGA port). The primary display has some artifacting but basically works. The secondary display is terribly artifacted, with streaky repetitions of some of the primary display's elemenets, the cursor is a square, etc. Nevertheless, I can open a terminal on the primary display, drag it to the secondary display, and use it, even if is very difficult to read.
Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried both the "ati" and "radeon" driver, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've tried it with the horiz and vert syncs specified, and not specified, and that doesn't make a difference either.
lspci identifies the graphics chip as "ATI Technologies inc Radeon mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500].
I'm running Redhat 9.0; XFree86 is 4.3.0-2. I've tried it running Gnome and Windowmaker, no diff.
