Greetings all,
The problem: I'm trying to get two video cards (and of course two
monitors) to work at the same time under XFree86 4.2.0-72.
What I've done: I've modified my /etc/X11/XF86Config file as what appears
to appropriate (it's attached bellow) As you can see there is a primary
and a secondary screen layout that exist to test the teo card setups,
startx invoked with the -layout option refering to one of these works
exactly as one would expect. However when I try the -layout dual, the
left screen (screen1) works, but the right screen has garbage on it and
seems unchanging.
Any help y'all experts of XFree86 can provide in getting my box to
use both screens would be appreciated.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
