Arg,
Do I need to specify two separate video devices when using 
Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS, TMDS" ?

Logically it would make sense that if I configure Videocard0 with the
MonitorLayout option that it is not needed. But then I think, well how
do I map the device to the screen.


I don't see any errors in log file yet the second screen won't come up.
To keep it simple for stupid I am just trying to get both display from
this two port colorgraphics cards working. 

Here is a snippet of my last setup. 

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen 0  "Screen 0" 0 0
        Screen 1 "Screen 1" RightOf "Screen 0"
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        Option "Xinerama" "off"
        Option "Clone" "on"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "Radeon Mobility 9000"
        BusID       "PCI:2:2:0"
        Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS, TMDS"
        Option "BusType" "PCI"
        Option "CloneMode" "1280x1024"
        Option "CloneHSync"  "30.0 - 80.0"
        Option "CloneVRefresh" "56.0 - 76.0"
EndSection
 
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard1"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "Radeon Mobility 9000"
        BusID       "PCI:2:2:0"
EndSection


Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen 0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
 
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen 1"
        Device     "Videocard1"
        Monitor    "Monitor1"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Will have to do a newbie how to when I am done with all this.


Thanks,
Ted
