Dual Monitor problems with XFree86


I have a problem that I can't quite resolve. I've tried quite a few things. I had Xinerama working just fine. But I updated the kernel, and it now clones the first screen onto the second.

My Xinerama appears to be working. Whenever I open a new application it opens on the second screen and I can see it in my workspace browser at the bottom and even move my mouse cursor to the second screen. However, the display that I see on the second monitor is a clone of the first. If I log in via VNC, I can see the whole desktop just fine. But on the monitors that are connected to the actual box, I get a clone of screen 0. Any ideas?

Here is my supporting information:
OS: Novell Linux Desktop SP2 (SuSE based)
kernel: 2.6.5
Video Card: ATI FireGL V3100 (RV370 5B64) dual head
Monitors: Dell flat screens

The XFree86Config-4 is generated by the fglrxconfig utility. I have added the Xinerama option.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Adam.
