If I said that I was wrong. Here's the problem description:

I'm getting an X server on the TV monitor, but just a black
bacground on the computer monitr. The mose will not move off
of the TV monitor, so I'm pretty certain that X knows
it has only 1 "head". And I'm getting this error message:


(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0)
found
(EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument

Just "X" will reproduce the problem. If I do startx then mythfronted comes
up on the TV monitor. The primary problem is that I'm not getting a X
session on the computer monitor, just a blacj black screen.

The machine is not loacked up, sorry if I made you think thta.
