The recent Mandriva release (2006) also broke dual head support, at least for 
me (T40 2373), at least for ati M7 7500.  2006 defaults to xorg 6.9.cvs.  
Rolling back xorg to 6.8.2 from the previous release fixed the problem for 
me.  Does anyone know whether the fix desccribed here will solve the Mandriva 
(or xorg) problem?
