I've got a Matrox G400 (it has two VGA ports built-in) and just hooked a second monitor to the other VGA port. When I run system-config-display it gives me the option to enable the 2nd monitor, but when I restart X the other monitor just sits there stupidly like it's not getting a signal. Do I need any other software to do this or is Fedora set up to run it out of the box?

Can you attach your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

Sure, here it is.
