Hi,
I have two monitors.
'monitor0'
One is a 17" LCD Flatscreen that I would like to run at 1024x768.
This monitor is powered by a 16mb nVidea TNT2 PCI card.
'monitor1'
The second is a 26" LCD Flatscreen that I would like to run at something more adventurous, 1280x1024.
This monitor is powered by a 128mb nVidea MX AGP card.
I can see that the two cards/monitors are working by changing the default graphics card in the BIOS between PCI and AGP.
I would like to set it up so that I can have 2 desktops.
I have tried to set this up using Fedora's 'system-config-display'.
This utility has created the following xorg.conf:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:

I have read a couple of HOWTO's on the internet about setting up this file.
I'm concerned about the two 'SubSections' in the Screen0 Section, and the lack of 'BusID' and 'Screen' settings in Videocard0.
This config will boot, and load up the default screen (17") propperly, but the other screen does nothing.
