	Do you mean "XFree86 -configure" or just "xf86cfg"? Either of
these (they both boil down to "XFree86 -configure") cause the XFree86
server to probe your machine, and generate a new XF86Config file (usually
under ~root) which will probably work right out of the box for you.

	When you run "XFree86 -configure" and then "XFree86 -xf86config
/root/XF86Config.new", do both of your monitors fire up? Does X still see
your second card as simply "Card1"?
