Okay, understood.

Yep, that's what I am seeing, I'm getting a blank screen on the 2nd CRT
monitor.

I would be more than happy to help. We purchased this model because I
thought Radeon VE was supported by XFree, and I'm sad seeing my 2nd
monitor blank :)

Here's what the driver find about my card:
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: "ATI Radeon VE (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x5159)
(--) RADEON(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xf0000000
(--) RADEON(0): MMIO registers at 0xff9f0000
(--) RADEON(0): BIOS at 0xc1000000
(--) RADEON(0): VideoRAM: 32768 kByte (64-bit DDR SDRAM)
(II) RADEON(0): PLL parameters: rf=2700 rd=60 min=12000 max=35000; xclk=18300

Not sure how I can help, but if you can direct me I'll do my best.

Regards,
