I wonder if this is related to a problem I had, 1 or 2 years ago, where system-config-display (?) said that it was updating xorg.conf, but, in fact, it did not update it. Sometimes the GUIs do not work as advertised. There was some command which ended in --rebuild (?) to generate a completely new xorg.conf file. Possibly that would help you, with part of this problem?
'spossible, but I usually wind up tweaking it by hand 'cuz it needs it AFAICT.
However, to s-c-d's credit, I have checked the output xorg.conf after running it, and the file seems to be set up right, or at least not any more wrong than I would have, and it still doesn't work.
I've had to tweak xorg.conf by hand every time to get it right. Not sure why....
Thanks.
