Re: One of two monitors washed out?

As I recall there was a bug that caused one head to be washed out on
ceratin radeon boards.  It was fixed in CVS, but the bug still exists
as far as I know in 4.3.0.  try and cvs build and it should work for
you.

Also you might want to try mergedfb if you are using dualhead on
radeon; it has some nice features including 3D support on both heads. 
it's available in DRI CVS.  See this page for more info:

I'd be curious to have someone test it with dual DVI.
