trouble with twinview and 2 monitors, please read
 

hi all. got a weird problem.
I recently got meself a second monitor(HP 1730) which i hooked up to my ATI radeon 9000 card on the DVI plug. Im using XFree86 4.3.0 and red-hat 9.0 and kernel 2.4.20-8

Now then, after having enabled twinview and setting up, what i thought was the correct
info into my XF86config file i am experiensing a weird problem.
I initially get the login screen on both my monitors, but my mouse is not working and if
i start an xterm it opens in the new monitor and if i then move it to my other monitor, using
shortcut keys to move it with the keyboard, the monitor goes black (standby mode?) ????
whats up with that ?? i am unable to identify what is really wrong here as my XFree86.log
file really doesnt give me any warnings or errors.

any help appriciated.

regards

nappy

do you have youre resolutions and sync values right? that does sound as bit odd thats the only think i can think of.
