Radeon driver and dual-head
I just switched to the Radeon driver because catalyst was giving me lots of problems. However, I can't seem to get dual-head working with my R9 270X. I have one monitor plugged into HDMI, the other into DVI, yet XRandR now only shows one screen, default. The screens mirror each other. I tried to use my old xorg.conf that the catalyst driver generated for me, and changed "fglrx" to "radeon," but then X wouldn't work at all. Right now, I have no xorg.conf and both screens show the same thing.

Re: Radeon driver and dual-head
Are you sure that xrandr --output HDMI --auto --output DVI --auto --right-of HDMI doesn't work at the terminal under whichever wm/de?
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

Hm, well, it seems to work with the R9 290X now, so I guess if I ever need the 270X again, I'll make a new thread. Strange.

Re: Radeon driver and dual-head
Look at this thread and the solution at the end:

It sounds about the same to me.
