Much luck for that. |

I had spent a lot of time to get that working and now I use Xrandr ;-) |

xf86-video-ati has better support for that then radeonhd but with both is |
| 15 |
always the risk that it stops working after an update. |
| 16 |
Oh and dual-head (first and foremost with open drivers) is broken with xorg- |
| 17 |
server bigger 1.4 and smaller 1.7 |

Xrandr is no the new black and with that support for dual-screen layout is not |
| 20 |
much supported and very low priorised. |
| 21 |
There was/is a discussion running on the x11-mailinglist over that topic. |
| 22 |
The core content from that is "bury the old style, prefer xrandr, let the WM |
| 23 |
or DE handle the rest." |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Xrandr isn't that bad but its not mature enough. There is much to do on |
| 26 |
protocol side and on WM/DE side. |
