    4850x2 - catalyst - disable - 3 monitors?

    I have a 4850x2, 3 monitors, and now I cant see the third monitor. In the driver catalyst it says that the third monitor is UNKNOWN. I see this as xfire is enabled therefore cutting the 3rd monitor off. Does anyone know how to disable xfire so I can see the third monitor?

    I have a similar dual ati card 3 monitor system. I left my xorg.conf and instructions as to how I got it in post #9 on this thread.

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647572

    try a new xorg.conf generated by

    Code:
    sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial
    From your xorg.conf it appears to me that only one card is active.

    Code:
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Default Device"
        Driver      "fglrx"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "amdcccle-Device[5]-0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option        "Monitor-DFP1" "0-DFP1"
        Option        "Monitor-DFP2" "0-DFP2"
        BusID       "PCI:5:0:0"
    EndSection
    should look more like

    Code:
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option        "Monitor-DFP2" "0-DFP2"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    
    Section "Device"
        Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[1]-0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        Option        "Monitor-DFP1" "1-DFP1"
        Option        "Monitor-DFP2" "1-DFP2"
        BusID       "PCI:6:0:0"
    EndSection
