Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up dual screens. I have a Hanns G HW101D 1440x900 as my primary monitor and a standard 15" Dell as my second.
I'm using a radeon 1600 pro with dual heads.

I dont really know whats going on, the dell monitor always says "Cannot Display This Video Mode"

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Code:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AR [Radeon 9600] (Secondary)
