You need to put

	Screen	0

in one device section and

	Screen	1

in the other.

Thanks, sir.  I finally figured that out (should have read the man pages
more carefully the first time).  It still didn't work.  Then I rebooted the
box, for a completely different reason, and discovered both monitors came
up.  Tried the dual config and X works.

The system hadn't been rebooted since I attached the vga monitor to the dvi
port (via dvi/vga adaptor).  I'm assuming that the vid card only detects the
monitor on the dvi port when it's initially powered on.  It just never
occured to me it might work that way, so I never rebooted.  I guess I also
should have gotten it from the "RADEON(1): No monitor detected" message.

So all works now.  Thanks for the help.
