Description G.Wolfe Woodbury 2006-09-10 19:48:09 UTC

Under FC5 and FC6/rawhide distributions
The ati and atimisc drivers load and then unload with a "missing config section"
error.  This is in a dual-head configuration with a Trident Cyberblade/i1 as the
primary "videocard0" and the ATI Rage 128 XL as "videocard1".

Attaching an xorg.conf file and the Xorg.0.log file showing the errors.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Remove the following lines from xorg.conf and try again:

	Option	    "Xinerama" "off"
	Option	    "Clone" "on"

	Screen      1

This most probably is an issue with your xorg.conf. Please ask for advice on a users list.
