Description Thiago Sayao 2005-09-26 23:09:59 UTC 
When X starts, it turns off my CRT monitor and there is no way of turning it on
again. It's annoying because i want to use both monitor, sometimes to display
the same content and sometimes for dual head. It turns off on both
configurations (dual head and same content on both screens). My laptop has an
key to turn it on, but it doesn't work. The only way to work around this is to
turn off the CRT (it can remain plugged, but turned off), start X and the turn
it on.

Known behavior of current radeon driver. Check bug #115283 for an updated driver
that might work with your configuration. Please post your results.
