Dual Display w/Radeon 9000 Pro
I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and I used the thread titled "ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Dual Display Problems" to get my dual display up and running:
Although, I'm having trouble setting up the exact dual display I want. Here is my situation: I have 2 CRT monitors: One is an Envision 775e and the other is a Viewsonic E771. On my desk the Envision is placed on the left and the Viewsonic on the right. So naturally, I want the Envision monitor to be my "main" display and the Viewsonic to be the "extended desktop." Right now I have the "main" display as the Viewsonic monitor and the "extended desktop" is the Envision monitor, which is placed RightOf the Viewsonic. Of course I could change that command to LeftOf but that still doesn't get me the "main" display where I want it. Now, I know what you're thinking... just switch the monitor cables plugged into the video card, right? Well, that's where I run into my problems. When I do that, the displays revert to "Clone" and not "DualHead." So does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Tried initialising them the other way round?
