I'm using dualhead an ASUS with ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 200M against a Belinea SVGA monitor.
The latest version now of xf86-video-ati drives the second monitor in an unstable state of shivering, trembling, flickering very fast (or something like that).

    Here is the relevant part from /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

    Until the problem can be fixed, I've switched back to =x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1.
