In the xfree86 4.3/4.4 radeon driver you can't mix DRI and dualhead.

AFAIK, the radeonfb kernel driver does not support multiple heads yet. > >Thanks for any help. It sounds like what you may want is my radeon driver with mergedfb support. It uses each crtc as a viewport into a single shared framebuffer so the DRI works on both heads: http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/MergedFB Alex __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
