Sorry if this is an FAQ (if not, probably should be).

I have ATI radeon X300SE card with DVI and vga output. My monitor is 
connected to analog vga output at (1440x900) and DVI is connected to 
panasonic plasma at 1280x720. I setup the card in xorg.conf to display 
two desktops which are side by side and can go from one to the other by 
moving the mouse. Now, if I try to start MythFrontend on either of the 
screens, it does not display anything. Here are the log entries when it 
is starting up, I never see the Myth frontend.
