 +In your Section "Screen" the monitor and device should be binded together. In this section also the allocation is made, which connector at the graphics card is referenced as screen 0 and which output is referenced as another screen in xorg terminology. Although for some this may seem obvious, screen 0 is not just the always first connector. Where should you start to count for screen 0 for example? And what if for some reason you want to overwrite the detected monitor types, or if a driver makes a false detection? The [[http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.2/doc/radeon.4.html|man-page about the radeon driver]] shows this vital information on this. In the following option:
 +  Option "MonitorLayout" "string"

 +| The possible monitor types are:\\ NONE -- Not connected\\ CRT -- Analog CRT monitor\\ TMDS -- Desktop flat panel\\ LVDS -- Laptop flat panel\\ This option can be used in following format:\\ Option "MonitorLayout" "[type on primary], [type on secondary]"\\ For example, Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT, TMDS"\\ \\ Primary/Secondary head for dual-head cards:\\ (when only one port is used, it will be treated as the primary regardless)\\ **Primary head:**\\ DVI port on DVI+VGA cards\\ LCD output on laptops\\ Internal TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards\\ **Secondary head:**\\ VGA port on DVI+VGA cards\\ VGA port on laptops\\ \\ External TMDS port on DVI+DVI cards\\ \\ The default value is **undefined**.  |
