As for the 'weird' effects on the other monitor, I'm not sure if this driver is capable of dual screen. I know I had the same effect with 2 monitors and the Xorg nv driver.
What I get from xrandr is they're both connected running at 60hz which should be fine.SirDice said:It's most likely a configuration error. Most modern monitors will turn off when the frequencies are to high.

Very minimal, but it is there. I don't need any 3D, I do all my games on Windows.wblock said:xf86-video-ati aka radeon works great with dual monitors. But a 5850 is very new and support for it in the driver is either minimal or nonexistent.
It shipped with 6.13.0, I tried building .1 last night and it failed, I'll give it a better go today, probably from git and report back.adamk said:xf86-video-ati's first release with HD5xxx support was 6.13.0. I'm not sure what version 8.1 ships with, but make sure it's at least 6.13.0. And, honestly, considering how new that GPU is, you may want to consider updating to 6.13.1 or even xf86-video-ati from git.
