X800 Dual Head Fedora Core 3
 
I am up and running with Fedora Core 3 and everything is functioning properly even my ati x800 pro card. My only problem is that right now the card is mirroring the same desktop on both monitors. So I went into the System Settings > Display program to configure the Display. I then select dual head and then configure all of the options and then click "OK", but nothing happens and the chnages I make are not saved.

Any ideas?

This time I ran system-config-display from the terminal this time to see if it dumped any errors and it does. After clicking ok it dumps ValueError: too many values to unpack

Any idea why I would be getting this?

after loading the fglx drivers and such I thought I had it licked. Now my config file looks right but it is still only cloning my monitors
