Probs with Dual Monitor setup


Hi all

I am running Fedora 3 with a dual monitor setup. I have two LCD Screens, a Benq FP71G and a LG L1730S
My video card is an ATI 9200 pro. I have the setup basically working however the 1st screen, the Benq, is showing really rough fonts, and I am sure that the driver is wrong.
I have tried everything I know to fix it (which is very basic) but to no avail. I have installed the ATI fglrx driverwhich got the twin screens working but didn't fix the roughness of the 1st screen. Below is the excerpt from my xorg.conf file.

Can anyone give me some clues as to what I could try please????

Thanks in advance

Peppercorn
