Need help with xorg multihead configuration
This is my first time attempting to do a multihead system. I just installed PCLinuxOS. The video card is an AGP EVGA FX5200. It has both VGA and DVI outputs with an adapter to convert the DVI to VGA. My monitors are identical. Both of them were connected during the install.
During the bootup process, both monitors display the same thing until the login screen. Then the left screen shows junk and the right screen is normal.
Sorry for the long post, but I know I will be asked for my xorg.conf file, so here it is, after I added the extra sections for the second monitor, device, and screen. Any help will be appreciated.
