Dual Monitor Question

[Matt Smith]

this is the message i get when trying to run system-config-display after
installing it

File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xconf.py", line 378, in <module>
    dialog = xConfigDialog.XConfigDialog(hardware_state, xconfig,
videocard.VideoCardInfo())
  File "/usr/share/system-config-display/xConfigDialog.py", line 640, in
__init__
    if len(self.xconfig.layout[0].adjacencies) > 1:
IndexError: index out-of-bounds

i now know that i have an ATI Radeon x300 video card, do I have to get
drivers for this first?  Is this card particularly problematic, again i
appreciate the help as i am very new to this linux thing.

thanks
matt
