 I have a Radeon HD 6770 card.
 And two high-res (1920x1200) monitors attached.
 #1 is Displayport.
 #2 is DVI.
 The build I tested with is Haiku Nightly GCC4-Hybrid (r44063).

 First - I am happy that the Radeon drivers finally work with the HD6770
 card.
 However - it only displays on the DVI connected monitor. The DisplayPort
 monitor remains Black. To be clear - when I have both monitors connected,
 only the DVI monitor lights up.

 With older Radeon Cards (and even when using the VESA drivers) - both
 monitors would light up with the same image.
 This is the default behaviour I have seen with other OS's as well.

 I know that Haiku does not yet support multiple displays, but the
 behaviour I have seen previously in haiku, and my 'reasonable
 expectation', is that all monitors should light up.
