Weird dual monitor problem

Hey guys,

 

I recently installed SL on my AMD machine (specs below) using the ModCD+Retail method. Everything went without a hitch and I was even able to get dual monitors working (eventually) on 5830 without QE/CI.

 

However, I have a weird problem that when i restart the system the same display is shown on both screens, even though it's in extended and not mirrored mode. The only way I can get around this is by modifying behaviour on boot (Graphics strings, change cable, etc). If I boot using Chameleon and a single monitor it crashes and reboots just before the desktop comes up.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this and if there is a simple fix?

 

Thanks.

 

 

Specs:

Asus M4A77T/USB

AMD Phenom II X4 955

XFX Radeon HD5830

80GB 5400RPM SATA HDD

Using modified ATI5000controller.kext
