    Hi all,

    I've got an ATI x600 PCIx video card in this new computer and have
    gotten XFree86 working with the display driver from
    http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html

    xscreensaver does fade both monitors but only activates on the left
    monitor and restores what ever was on the desktop on the right monitor.

    I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, (xscreensaver man page, home
    page... nada) there must be a way of having xscreensaver working on
    bothe monitors, right?

    lspci shows:
    0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown
    device 5b62
    0000:01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5b72

    Thanks,
