Radeon 350 problem

[Jeremy Lawler]

I have a dual head radeon 9600 problem running in linux stable.  This
problem did not occur in 6.8.2, and originally showed up in 6.9.0.  I
"solved" the problem by rolling back to 6.8.2, but now it seems the problem
is not going to be fixed, most likely because no one else reported it.

The problem is that in X windows, the image on the primary monitor is copied
is displayed on the second monitor.  HOWEVER, it believe it's displaying 2
different images, and I can scroll the mouse onto the second montior.
However, I cannot interact with anything on that screen, as they are not
really "there."  For example, when I started firefox, it started in the
second window, and i had to "guess" where it was showing up and drag it onto
the main monitor.

I know just about nothing regaurding xorg, so I have pieced my config file
together from things I've found online.

Again, up until the migration to 6.9.0 this config worked for me.  I'm
running to 21" crt monitors.
