    Tried that first thing this morning. I actually moved the XF86Config
    and xorg files into a backup directory so there was no chance of SAX
    picking them up from a differently named file. I went to init 3, ran
    SAX. SAX found everything as before and it refuses to allow a dual
    head setup. In Expert there seems to be nothing that I can tweak to
    turn on Xinerama or the FrameBuffer thing. It did auto detect things
    right... when I saved, it wrote an XF96Config - not an xorg.config
    file. I did an init 5 and restarted X, and everything works as it did
    when I installed.

    I checked YOU to make sure there wasn't a new Radeon driver (suggested
    in another thread on ATI vid cards) and nothing there. I'm about
    ready to give up and move back to the good old standby nVidia cards.
    I've never had problems with them. Only issue is convincing the IT
    guy here that I need a new video card :-P
