JonEberger Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I know it's been awhile since this thread was initiated. However, I'd like still try to help. Zippy, you're using the ati driver. Can you try using the proprietary drivers from ATI? What happens then? I only see information for one output monitor.
