xorg.conf for Dual-head Xinerama on FC2T3

I got working dual head on fc2t3.  At the end of this email is my
xorg.conf file for the configuration.  I have a Radeon 7200 in my AGP
slot, and a Radeon 7000 PCI card at "PCI:2:14:0" on an Asus CUSL2 mother
board.

I determined the "PCI:2:14:0" value by doing the following: 

sudo X -configure

That seemed to find both of my cards.  I then pasted the "PCI:2:14:0"  
into the "Videocard1" section of the dual-head xorg.conf generated by the
Gnome display manager, and it worked like a charm.  Here is a screenshot
of the results:

Is this a Gnome problem that it can't recognize where the PCI video card
is on the bus?  Gnome tried to use "PCI:1:0:0", and by default gave me a
single 640x480 display on Videocard0.  That was quite a shock since I 
should have 3200x1200 of usable X display area.  

Regards, 

Tony
