I have tried it so many times the history only shows success with the

I will switch back to DVI and try again.

When I had the DVI cable connected, the monitor kept switching between
analog and digital.

Do you have a matrox G450 as well?

Maybe, I need to add the following sort of lines to the device section
of my xorg.conf file:
=============================================================================
Option      "DigitalScreen1" "on"
Option      "DigitalScreen2" "on"
===============================================================================
