Multiple monitor and video card woes with FC 3

Good day all.

First, let me say that I am not certain that this belongs in the hardware forum. Since it deals with a hardware (video card) issuse, I am taking the chance.

First, my video setup. I have, currently, an ATI Rage XL AGP 2x as the primary video with an Acer 77C CRT monitor as the primary display. I have a Matrox Millennium II PCI as the second video card, with a Hitachi 1711 as the second display. The ATI/Acer combination works fine. The Matrox/Hitachi does not.

I have upgraded my system-config-display to the latest (1.0.24-1) version. This system dual boots to Windoze XP (don't start, I know....) and both video card/monitor combinations work.

Here is a cut down version of my xorg.conf. I left all references to anything to do with the display.
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display

Snipped input devices, because they work

Here is what I think is the relavant output from the X server log:
(WW) MGA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:9:0) found

(II) resource ranges after xf86ClaimFixedResources() call:

(EE) Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section.
(II) UnloadModule: "mga"
I have twiddled with the xorg.conf file myself, and searched though the archives here. What you are seeing here is a bone stock, machine generated xorg.conf and the associated output. I do not understand why the second monitor is being removed. It looks to me as if it is confidgured properly.

Anyone have an idea? I can be direct emailed at mikoyan31yh AT yahoo DOT ca

Thank you.
Craig
