Trying to determine where dual-display for X begins in FC/RH.

I submitted a bug report for problems trying to resolve a dual display 
problem with the latest xorg-x11 program. I recall reading some list 
mail and some bug reports earlier that referred to older X versions 
working and later versions failing. I want to see if this is regression 
or if an Intel 815 (primary) and an ati (secondary) video card could 
work with Fedora/Red Hat.
I installed Severn to see if I could configure dual-display and found 
only the start of the configuration tool interface. (blank tab).
Anyway, before trailing through all the betas, FC releases and such, I 
would like to know where a functional configuration tool begins.

The bug and hardware that I am trying to use is posted in the bug report 
that this link points to.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144597

I know the hardware is capable of working with this setup. The dual-head 
operation works in Win ME, which is held in low esteem even among MS users.

Thanks!

Jim
