Hi, list!
Recently I installed F15-rc1 on my computer. The machine is AMD Phenom
with 2 GB of RAM. It has two graphics adapters - one internal,
integrated into motherboard and the other is PCI-express card. Here's
the link to motherboard manufacturer specifications:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/740GM-P25.html#?div=Detail
PCI-E card is Redwood [Radeon HD 5670].
The machine has two monitors. One attached to PCI-E card is 21.5 BENQ GL2240:

The other one connected to internal video-out is NEC LCD 72VM.
I'm trying to configure dual-head. Last time I did it I used Xorg.conf.
In BIOS under 'Advanced BIOS Features I have' following options:
1. Primary Graphic's Adapter: Internal
PCI
PCI-E
2. On-Chip VGA Enabled
3. Surround View (If PCIE is Primary display, allow INTGFX to be
secondary display) Disabled
If I choose 'Internal' in option 1 NEC-monitor is used by default and
BENQ couldn't start (it does not detects in display configuration
menu). On the other hand, if I choose PCI or PCI-E NEC goes to sleep
mode.
I saw in google that now one should use xrandr to configure dual
screen. Could anybody provide me instructions on how to achieve that?
TIA
PS. Additional info:
