I am using opensuse 10.2
I got two ati graphic cards installed in my system,.
ati radeon x1650xt
ati radeon x1950xt
I have installed the property ati drivers properly. And been using the fglrx driver specification on the xorg.conf file. The is no trouble with that one.
In the hardware information I see the two cards, as well as in the SaX2 -p option.

I played a little with SaX2 while showed me only 1 display while it should show 2 displays for both of the card,. Now it won't even load and writes the following error (as well as when trying to force SaX2 to reread the hardware with "SaX2 -r" it displays the following in SaX2.log):

how do I force it to scan hardware and display the proper information?
moreover how do I configure four monitors (two ati cards, with two dvi outputs)?
I tried configuring the xorg.conf manually but it didn't work, is there an automatic way to do that?
I would like SaX2 to operate properly when doing SaX2 -r...
When I tried to run "sax2 -c 0 0=ati" it loaded sax2 and displayed the properties for the second card., Yet, When I tried to change it and run the X with it, it didn't run the X and resulted with an error:

When I took out one card and tried running the system only from the second card, it worked properly. I could see an image and all. The problem is therefor something with reconfiguration dual cards in the system. And configuration of the second card parameters, if I could see the second card while the first one is plugged, it might solve the problem.
I tried changing the xorg.conf only to the second card, with out the definitions of the none working driver 'fglrx' and instead I put in the 'radeon' default driver that comes in the new xorg.conf.
Unfortunately I didn't succeed working the second card either with these parameters, and got the following error message:
Quote:
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:

Note, that the card is functioning properly when it is the only one that is installed in the machine...
how do I solve my problem?
