Hello,

I've got this setup about 90% complete now.  I'm using
an ATI Radeon 7000 on a Redhat 9 system, using a video
card splitter which splits the signal two ways.  When
I startx, both monitors are activated and the desktop
spans across both screens.  When I move my mouse from
my left monitor (Screen 0) to my right monitor (Screen
1), the right monitor shuts off (power is still on
though, but the monitor goes blank).  I've followed
the directions in these threads:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-November/msg02080.html

but I still can't seem to get this problem fixed.  Any
help at all would be appreciated.  Thanks!  Here's my
XF86Config file:
