Can not set dual Monitors

[killerblaster]

HI

Trying to set dual monitors in ubuntu 11.10, with ati cards has been only pain.

Even if I got two video cards, unity goes 2d when I set xinerama, and gnome 3 too.

Can you guys help me with a right configuration.

Regards

Yep Don't you hate that.

I could not get dual monitor with the dafault radeon drives. I had to install fglrx and even then there were problems.
Hopefully when the new version of fglrx comes out it will work with gnome 3
