Hi all,

I had the dual head stuff working great in FC4 on my ThinkPad. After the
FC5 upgrade last night, the second screen no longer gets a signal when X
starts.

I tried to edit the xorg.conf file to no avail - the second screen stays
dark. I ran the display configuration to span the desktop over two
screens and it seems to place new windows on the second screen, but the
screen still stays dark.

I tried to find any info on this but came up empty. 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
