I'm trying to get dual 5850s up and running on Ubuntu 11.04 and having a great deal of trouble. As soon as I run

Code:
sudo aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all
towards the end of a guide such as this one and restart, I am no longer able to boot. Using an xorg.conf of my own, I am able to boot, and I even see both cards when I run

Code:
aticonfig --list-adapters
* 0. 01:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
  1. 02:00.0 ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

* - Default adapter
However, any other command using aticonfig seems to balk at the second card:

Code:
aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
                            Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
           Current Clocks :    157           300
             Current Peak :    725           1000
  Configurable Peak Range : [550-775]     [900-1125]
                 GPU load :    0%
ERROR - Get clocks failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series

poclbm only sees one card that it is able to use too. Both cards are seen correctly in lscpi:

Code:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress [Radeon HD 5800 Series]
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress [Radeon HD 5800 Series]
02:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]
At this point, I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Looking at Xorg.0.log I find the following:

Code:
[     8.579] (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
....
[     9.590] (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0@2:0:0) found

Which seems like a likely culprit for the problem - though as far as I can can tell, I do have such a device section in my xorg.conf (linked above).
