Hey guys. I just loaded Mandriva 2008.1 and I really like it. I had been using 2007 for about a year now. However I also just bought a ATI Radeon HD2600 Pro video card. I am having some problems getting the dual head on it to work. When I start with the configuration that ati recommends all I get is a black xwindows screen.
Here is my xorg.conf file

If I use the screen1 instead of the aticonfig-screen[0] / [1] I can get the monitors to work however they are clones of each other.
Any help would be great. Thanks
