The solution to this problem was to uninstall the uvesa module, and change the stanza in grub.conf from this: kernel /kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/sda3 video=uvesafb:mtrr,ywrap,1280x1024...@64 splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 to this: kernel /kernel-2.6.34-gentoo-r12 root=/dev/sda3 video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap,splash=silent,fadein,theme:emergence quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 Strangely enough it works without crashing now and it doesn't seem to mind the video=uvesafb: entry although uvesa is no longer in my kernel. The splash screen only covers part of the wide screen monitor on the right (i.e. it does not stretch across it's whole width). The smaller left hand side monitor shows the splash full size. The only glitch seems to be that it drops me back to the console, after I enter the passwd in kdm. I had this problem in the past (for years) and after some update it just went away.

No need to use any other configuration file, now that I am using an xorg.conf. All I did was to define the second monitor, after I had a quick look for its values as probed from EDID in Xorg.0.log: ============================================ Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 360 290 # mm Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "NEC" ModelName "NEC LCD1860NX" HorizSync 31.0 - 82.0 VertRefresh 55.0 - 85.0 Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Monitor" #DisplaySize 510 290 # mm Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "DEL" ModelName "DELL ST2320L" HorizSync 56.0 - 76.0 VertRefresh 30.0 - 83.0 Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" Option "RightOf" "Monitor0" Option "DPMS" EndSection ============================================ Then under Section "Device" I added the two monitors as follows: ============================================ Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "monitor-VGA-0" "Monitor0" Option "monitor-DVI-0" "Monitor1" EndSection ============================================ Hope this helps someone. :-) -- Regards, Mick
