Well I hope you'll find Ive done due diligence here before you go 
popping cards.  Yes I'm definately using the same PCI BusID in both 
sections and yes to Screen 0, Screen 1. Yes Ive been using -37.

Setup details:
Primary  monitor = NEC LCD 1860 connected via DVI.  ( I call it the 
primary becuase its the console boot monitor)
Secondary is the Dell P991 connected via VGA/DVI adapter.

Im suspecting some issue with the DDC probe(?):  The the primary LCD 
works fine and the Dell CRT powers on but then the front panel sync 
light starts flashing which Im guessing means its being driven with the 
wrong sync.  The LCD is running straight DVI from card to display but as 
the Dell is running  through a VGA/DVI adapter ( FireGL is dual DVI )  
Im wondering if the DDC can work through the adapter.  Or does it need 
to since Im specifying vertical / horizontal refresh in my Monitor 
section?   I have the 'MonitorLayout' line in there because without it I 
get zilch.
Two other things that might  be significant:

1) My Intel AGP is a little too new and requires an

>   options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1


in modules.conf.   I suppose thats relevant only for DRI which is only 
supported on the fglrx drivers.

2) I notice in the X log below that EDID reports only on Monitor _2_ and 
calls it the NEC?

Anyway on to the details:
