I am not sure I know what zaphod-style is. I've attached the two
Xorg configuration files I use/would like to use to this mail.
xorg.conf.saved, the first, is the old configuration that works only
with 6.6.
xorg.conf.xrandr, the second, is the configuration I pieced together
using http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12, but with
7.3, I cannot make it drive the second card, and with 7.4, it just
results in a screen so black that the only way to fix it I've found
is a complete reboot of the machine.
Any help warmly appreciated,
Thanks,
