I can't seem to figure this out. but, I do think it's a problem with my hardware, because like with my Debian install, Windows XP hangs when I try to use both my monitors
I don't really know how to describe my problem. the 'lspci' command and 'X -scanpci' give different BusID's for the same card, and when I set the BusID for the corresponding device in XF86Config (ATI All-In-Wonder) to what lspci gives me, X loads fine, but only on one monitor. and when I set it to what 'X -scanpci' gives me, it hangs and doesn't show anything
I've appended a copy of my XF86Config and my /var/log/XFree86.0.log, and here are the results lspci gives me:

the thing that catches my eye is in my XFree86.0.log: line 82: (II) PCI: 00:13:0: chip 1002,4749 card 1002,0066 rev 5c class 03,00,00 hdr 00 line 103: (--) PCI: (0:19:0) ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro rev 92, Mem @ 0x10000000/24, 0x11000000/12
A few things to look into here: 1) XF86Config BusID's should be specified in decimal. Note that 0x13 == 19. 2) You should not be loading the vesa driver. 3) The driver isn't detecting the PCI 3D Rage. One reason for that would be you are using the kernel's buggy atyfb which befuddles this adapter because it mis-guesses the adapter's reference frequency. If you must see the penguin at boot-up use vgafb or vesafb instead, although I recommend staying away from fbcon entirely.
