You're using the wrong keywords, then. I'd start with "$X_SERVER_NAME
dual" in Google Groups, comp.os.linux.x, and see what you come up with.

I answered a similar question a little less than 2 weeks ago. Go to
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search , put the string
slrncbv00r.jdi.danSPANceswitTRAPhcrows@samantha.crow202.dyndns.org into
the "find messages with this message-ID" field, hit "search". The
solution is in the CloneMode, CloneHSync, and CloneVSync options within
XF86Config/xorg.conf . The options are radeon-specific. HTH,
