This depends on the video card. If the driver doesn't specify, ie. before X loads, you'll most likely get an image on both outputs, if you have a monitor on both. This is what happens with my nvidia. To make it as easy as possible for X, just plug in DVI XOR VGA. Once the driver/X loads, its up to it to decide what to do. > .

X doesn't need to know about a specific monitor. Even if its not in X's list of monitors, you can use any monitor so long as you know the specs (vert/horiz frequency, etc) - just edit XF86Config by hand. As far as the radeon drivers go, what 2.4 kernel are you running? I don't know how significant the ati changes are between say, 2.4.20 and 2.4.22. You might also try ATI's drivers. > .

Given that there have been two major releases of RedHat since psyche, this list is a little quiet of late. You could always try fedora (ducking for cover :) It seems to have quite an advanced XFree86. > Thanks in advance.
