Dual Display w/Radeon 9000 Pro
 
I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and I used the thread titled "ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Dual Display Problems" to get my dual display up and running:
Although, I'm having trouble setting up the exact dual display I want. Here is my situation:

I have 2 CRT monitors: One is an Envision 775e and the other is a Viewsonic E771. On my desk the Envision is placed on the left and the Viewsonic on the right. So naturally, I want the Envision monitor to be my "main" display and the Viewsonic to be the "extended desktop."

Right now I have the "main" display as the Viewsonic monitor and the "extended desktop" is the Envision monitor, which is placed RightOf the Viewsonic. Of course I could change that command to LeftOf but that still doesn't get me the "main" display where I want it.

Now, I know what you're thinking... just switch the monitor cables plugged into the video card, right? Well, that's where I run into my problems. When I do that, the displays revert to "Clone" and not "DualHead."

So does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Below is a copy of my XF86Config file.

# The location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

Tried initialising them the other way round?
Code:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "DualHead"
Screen "Screen1"
Screen "Screen0" LeftOf "Screen1"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
EndSection
