Dual Monitor + TV Out + ATI


Ok so here's the deal:
I'm running SuSE 10 with a dual monitor set up using 2 video cards (an old pci voodoo 3 and a pci-e radeon x800) which is working perfectly. However I also want to be able to display to my TV at the same time. I can't figure out how to do this using the 'radeon' driver that comes with SuSE. atitvout doesn't support my card (x800 xt). When I install ATI's drivers (fgrlx) the TV Out works fine....just one problem....my Voodoo 3 won't initialize properly so I only get 1 monitor. I used ati's config utility to make my xorg.conf file and it didn't put anything in about my Voodoo 3 in devices so I manually (copied from my back up xorg.conf) went in and added my voodoo 3 to devices and added another screen for it. I restarted and....still nothing, the monitor attached to the voodoo 3 still won't initialize....
any thoughts?

thanks
