Thanks for your question, I want to ask you which kind of problem you have. Yor xorg.conf is well configured for use the two cards, and you xorg.conf has not errors. I think your system configuration is ok. Let me know. Thanks

Here is my problem: I never see anything on the second monitor The system boots just fine with this configuration, and I get good support for the first monitor (connected to the onboard graphics adapter), but nothing every happens to the second monitor. It's power button is stays yellow instead of going to green, which for this monitor is consistent with getting no signal. In the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, soon after the warning about "No matching Device section" (shown above), there is an error reported:

(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Ok, the problem is here:

ection "ServerLayout"
        Identifier "Default Layout"
        Screen 0 "Default Screen"
        Screen 1 "Screen 2" RightOf "Default Screen"
        Option "Xinerama" "false"
        InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
        InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

you must change from this to:

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier "Default Layout"
  Screen "Default Screen"
  Screen "Screen 2" RightOf "Default Screen"
  InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
  InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
  InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
  InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
  Option "Xinerama" "on"
  Option "Clone" "on"
EndSection

Thanks

I'm a Linux novice by comparison. I had a lot of problems with my integrated ATI HD 3200 which drove me nuts. In the end I went here http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux64/radeonprevious-linux64.html and downloaded this ATI Catalyst™ 8.3 and installed it using text mode (is this the correct term?) as I could only get 800x600 resolution. Ran aticonfig --intial and aticonfig --intial="check" to see if the fglrx was present. Now i'm able to use the HDMI output as well as properly configure any other resolutions through VGA. Even though my card apparently wasn't supported it worked.

Apologies, I should have pointed out that there are options to specify dual outputs. aticonfig | more and you'll see them. Might work out of the box as it were though.

Can you help with this problem?
