Hi, I try many many many many many way of making a xorg.conf working with dual head. My problem is not the dual head setup, it's just when i try to surf on firefox or when i launch rdesktop all the computer hang if i am on a dual head xorg.conf. I can open thunderbird, the gimp, xmms, bluefish, xemacs, vi and many more programs without any problem. But when i launch firefox, i just point to a website and it hang. I am not sure if i have to go to current to make it work but i need firefox on my workstation and i need dual display too. I tired of trying again and again, i spent some money on this graphic board thinking 9600 ati was a good choice for dual head, but in fact, it was an error.
