Created attachment 27961 [details] xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log, xrandr --verbose output Overview: Using a Radeon X300 card, and upgrading from version 6.8.0-12.fc9 to version 6.12.2-14.fc11 of the radeon driver (and to xorg-server 1.6.1.901-1.fc11), xrandr ceases to put the x-server into dual head mode, but only allows the monitors to mirror one another, displaying either the left or right hand side of the virtual desktop. Steps to reproduce: On a system with an X300 card, running an unmodified Fedora 11; 1) Generate "base" xorg.conf: Xorg -configure 2) Modify to add "virtual 2560 1024" virtual desktop configuration 3) (Re)start Xorg 4) Issue command to configure dual head: xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --crtc 0 --pos 0x0 --output DVI-0 --auto --crtc 1 --right-of VGA-0 5) Observe monitors in cloned mode, showing left hand side of stretched virtual desktop, and xrandr --verbose indicates both monitors connected, using different CRTCs Further steps to resolve: 1) Downgrade the following packages to Fedora 9 versions: xorg-x11-drv-ati -> 6.8.0-12.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-keyboard -> 1.3.0-3.fc9 xorg-x11-drv-mouse -> 1.3.0-2.fc9 xorg-x11-server-Xorg -> -1.4.99.901-29.20080415.fc9 2) ln -s libcrypto.so.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.7 3) Repeat steps 1 to 4 above to get dual head, stretched desktop operation (Unfortunately, this seems to have the side effect that the Xorg runs busy) Attached: xorg.conf Xorg.0.log xrandr --verbose output
Does it work if you boot with nomodeset or radeon.modeset=0 on the grub command line?

However, it does have the side effect that the machine no longer boots using graphical components during the boot sequence, and ttys in text mode use a much larger text font - I'm guessing both symptoms are due to the way the graphics card has been set up at boot time.

You might try new kernel snapshots with newer kms code.
Should be fixed in a newer kernel.
