I have an ATI 9000 with two Viewsonic Monitors. I tried to use ATI's 
linux drivers but X can't find the monitors. I want to use them side by 
side with two seperate X windows running. My config file is as follows

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier   "Monitor0"
       VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
       ModelName    "VG700b"
       HorizSync    30.0 - 82.0
       VertRefresh  50.0 - 75.0
       Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"

       # no known options
       #BusID
       Identifier  "ATI Radeon 9000"
       Driver      "vesa"
       VendorName  "ATI Radeon 9000"
       BoardName   "ATI Radeon 9000"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
       Identifier "Screen0"
       Device     "ATI Radeon 9000"
       Monitor    "Monitor0"
       DefaultDepth     16
       SubSection "Display"
               Depth     16
               Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" 
"800x600" "640x480"
       EndSubSection
EndSection

Any ideas?
