not the same, but also trouble with two ati cards.

HD3450
HD3850

I can use the first one out of the box.. the best thing for the second card was 
to switch monitor energy mode from standby to active.
but no screen, better, this happened when both screens did not show any screen 
at all.. ended with hardware reset to reboot.

Mainboard is MSI K9A2-CF
BIOS: 1.A

using "X -configure" from rescue root console
and starting X with the new conf "X -config /root/xorg.conf.new"
seemed more helpfull than loosing hours with manual editing xorg.conf..

but both ways did not lead anywhere for now.
i could just attach both screens to card 1.. but I want to activate TV-out 
from, at best, both cards.. somewhere in future :D

i tried getting dual screen with one monitor attached to each card, but no 
success.
not with fglrx and not with mesa... radeonhd is next to try


another thing is, that i cannot install ubuntu 9.04 64 bit right now.. another 
problem.
I do hope it wont just turn out to be a buggy BIOS or just a bad/defect MoBo..
