    I have a dell dimension 9100 with a ati radeon x300, a dell 2005fpw 20"
    lcd and a sony cpd-g400 19" crt. I am running suse 10. I have not been
    able to configure xorg to use both monitors in a xinerama type setup
    correctly. when I start X everything starts up with no errors but my
    sony (pluged into the vga) goes black while the dell (pluged into the
    dvi) works just fine. the strange thing is that the desktop is extended
    like the other monitor was working! I know that the monitor is good
    because when I am in text mode it works. I have also been able to
    (mis)configure both monitors to be on at the same time but they are
    clones. I havn't been able to figure out what to do. I even tried ati's
    drivers to no avail. if anyone knows what is wrong or has an idea
    please let me know! I use this computer at work and I don't like having
    to spend time in windows just to have enough work space! thanks!
