yes. this option just forces the output types in case they are not
detected automatically. Unforuantely I don't think multiple digital
interfaces are supported correctly at the moment. It may work with
xorg cvs/6.8.0, but I don't have a dual digital setup to test. For
example no one seems to be able to get DVI plus LVDS to work on the
new thinkpad laptops. ati's last code drop had a improved output and
crtc handling, but it didn't apply after the DRI merge so it hasn't
made it in yet. If you can't get it working open a bug on
http://bugs.freedesktop.org
