Hello all,

I really need a hand with this I am trying to set up two screens one next to each other using a 9200 pro when i was running this setup on slack 11 it worked fine with the ATI proprietary driver I have now moved to ubuntu 7.10 and the when install the driver it says there is a syntax error. i have tried using the built in radeon and ati drivers in ubuntu with no luck I have tried many different Xorg configurations. I have got a copy of the ati kernel module source from the ubuntu repositories but I am not sure weather it is useful as i have read that it is just the src for the built in driver.

thanks in advance

Here is my xorg.conf file i have been trying
