A couple of people are reporting dusl head problems.  I'm not sure that it's
an fbdev problem though?

maybe it is a fbdev problem, but I have used a lot lof 2.4.x kernel and 2.6.10, 11 and 12 kernels.
why do you think it is now a fbdev problem.? or do I misunderstand you. in fact with 2.6.13rc4 there
is a "new" behaviour.

greetings aksel

Ah.  I was simply explaining why I'd cc'ed the fbdev-devel list on
that email.

I don't think it's an fbdev problem, but as usual can you post your dmesg, 
XFree86.0.log (of both the working and nonworking version), and details of your
hardware?

Well in theory there are no changes to the DRM in 2.6.13rc4 that should affect
dual-head, .. but an xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log would be appreciated...

I am sorry, I can not send you a log file, because I downgraded already to 2.6.12.3,
because I was not able to get my monitors running.

but I attach the xorg.conf

didn't get an xorg.conf but I believe this is the same bug as 4965
