I don't typically use the Xorg -configure option (I use vi!), but doesn't it create a temporary xorg.conf file in root's home directory so that you can test it?  If it works then I would copy it from /root/xorg.conf (if it is there) to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Hope it helps

Hi all.

I've just put a twin monitor setup on my system, I have a problem that so far
I've not been able to fix. Once I run Xorg -configure and edited
/etc/X11/xorg.conf for the mouse and monitor resolutions both video card /
monitor setups seem to work fine. I then setup the KDE desktops and again
everything seems fine. However when I next boot up, the second desktop , on the
new video card / monitor, looses its settings and defaults to 400 x 300, with no
available options above this. If I then logout of KDE, shutdown the X server and
do the Xorg -configure bit again and then restart X everything is ok again until
the next time. The first desktop is always ok with no problems.

Setup.

Gentoo 2006
KDE 3.4.3
Matrox Millennium G400 AGP (using Matrox kernel modules)
Some unknown but pretty good monitor

Diamond Viper 550 PCI (using whatever X gives as I found no modules that seemed
  to be for this card)
Tatung monitor.

I know this isn't strictly Gentoo but the people on this list are clued up
kiddies so I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this one.

TIA

Stewart
