I'm starting to think this may be a issue with the way your card is wired. it may be that hercules wired the DACs or outputs in a weird way that is preventing dualhead from working 'normally.' if you have no luck going forward, you may want to open a bug on xfree86 bugzilla (http://bugs.xfree86.org). Since mergedfb and 'regular' dual head program the crtcs the same way, if one doesn't work, it stands to reason neither will work.

If this is in fact a bug of some kind, where/who should I point it out to, and what info should I specify? > > You can build from source if you like. that may solve the problem, > although all my binaries are built on rh9. if you want to build from > source just checkout either the DRI or xfree86 CVS tree, then apply my > patch in the radeon driver directory > (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati), then build. I did a full checkout of the Xf86 CVS, and I'll try to compile with your patches. I'll post my results when I have them, though I'm starting to accept the fact that I may have chosen the wrong card :) Thanks for the help, Alon. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
