You are running two cards. Yep, I'm a "greenie" at heart. *Nothing* goes to the dump until it is properly aged or stinks to bad from the mold that grew on it in a deep, dark, moist storage location. (:-P I do have an Nvidia and another ATI with the analog and DVI connectors though.

Uh... you missed the start of the thread I guess. That was the point of my OP. I even tried to do everything right - Kudzu, system-config-display, manual massage of xorg.conf after initial failure, googled fairly extensively, ... heck I even checked the CentOS bugzilla! =:-O > > But, if you're looking for an all-CentOS solution, try going into > system-config-display and set the monitors up to be generic lcd (or > crt, if they're that old) with the right resolution settings and see > what happens that way.

Since the two monitors are identical at this point, didn't have to dink with any of that to start.
