Using SUSE 10 xorg 6.8.2 on a T42 (with a 1024x768 LCD)

Ok something changed, i upgraded from suse 9.3 to suse 10 and now my
dual screen configuration is broke.

One screen works fine, the other is blank, Same config file as 9.3...

I tried both these config files that i hacked together..

xorg.conf.suse9.3 used two screens and sets the layout in Section "ServerLa=
yout"
That worked before the upgrade. Now i only see one screen.

xorg.conf uses one screen section and Options to setup the dual
screens.Same thing, no output from the external screen. If i turn
Option "MergedFB" "on", that works i have xinerama, problem is that's
not what i want, i want two separate desktops .
Option=09"CRT2Position" "Clone"   works to but not what i want.

Any ideas what changed and why i can't get this to work, or have a
working config?
