Jonny,

I've attached my xorg.conf file for you to look at - it's used for
TV-Out only (i.e. no monitor), PAL-I and widescreen TV (the
DisplaySize line). Res is 800x600 24bit. Driver version is 8.21.10 but
I'll be upgrading the box tomorrow so will try the latest 2.6.12
compliant driver. My graphics chipset is the ATI Radeon 9100IGP
(Pundit-R system). I've never tried getting dual head running on this
machine so don't know if I'd have the same issues.
