Hi All,

I am trying to get a dual-head display to work with FC4.  I also have
spent hours googling and tweaking my xorg.conf to no avail.  

Here is the issue...

I am using a Compaq nx7000 with a Radeon Mobility 9200 dual-head video
card.  However, when I boot I ONLY get video on the external display,
regardless of how I configure my xorg.conf.

Ultimately I want to get spanning displays. Here is my xorg.conf file.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Blessings

Richard

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
