May I ask why you don't simpy use the ATI Catalyst Control Center that you have installed, instead of usin Sax or xrandr? Should be the easiest way to setup dual monitor.
Hi I have a similar problem. lspci shows two ATI Radeon 5700 cards. I have connected monitors to both outlets. However only one works. And as the other person said, I also installed the ATI Catalyst Control Center. For some reason, in the Display Manager there, it shows the second monitor as a "[Unknown Display] Unknown adapter". Any ideas? Has anyone fixed this already? (I am using Linux Mint 12)
