vga1  Hello there,
           I am having a problem with a dual-head setup in FC13. It
worked until a few days ago:
  * intel 82Q35 graphics, i915 controller
  * SAMSUNG syncmaster 743 and HP LP1965 displays, both 1280x1024.

The problem is that the Samsung is fine by itself but with the HP (DVI1)
connected too then the Samsung (VGA1) is not recognised and I cannot set
resolution above 1024x768.

xorg.0.conf has very little feedback - just lists Modelines for
1024x768 to 640x480. As I said, disconnecting the HP allows it to find
1280x1024 on the Samsung - and all the model information etc. That is
simply missing when both are connected.

   Any ideas please?
  Thanks,
      Bill
