Hello,

First of all, sorry for the time it took me to react, I'm currently in a situation that I don't have much time (for anything actually).
I'm sorry to say that the problem is not gone, but it has changed.
I've tested with the Ubuntu 14.04 (Daily Build) Live CD, and I ran the 'apport-collect -p xorg 1199409' command.
By the way, I noticed that this Live CD mentions itself as being 13.10, I assume this is because it is a Daily Build?
Now only one monitor is showing something, the other one is black, but which one depends on the situation.
When I try to rotate one monitor, Xorg crashes and I get the login screen of the Live CD, so that's also a problem.
When the login screen is shown, the monitor WITHOUT the DVI-VGA adapter is black, and when I just boot to the Live CD (so then no login screen is shown) the monitor WITH the adapter is black.
I have looked in the Xorg log, and it said it experienced a segfault, that probably has to do something with it.
I have uploaded that log file with this comment.
With regards to Mr. Penalver's last comment, yes, the last time I tried the fglrx driver, the PCI card could not be enabled, the AMD control panel did not show the card.
But when I have some time, I will try the workaround as suggested in bug #1058040, thanks for the suggestion.
Please say so when you need more information.

With kind regards,
Robke Geenen
