[NBLUG/talk] ATI + Ubuntu + Dual Screens + bad screen shots

Ha! I solved it, as I was pasting in my xorg.conf file, I saw that both
devices were poining at PCI:1:0:0, and even though it is the same card,
the second port shows up as PCI:1:0:1, so on Screen 1, I canged the
BusID to "PCI:1:0:1" and now it works..

See, sometimes it just takes airing your problem out to the world to
have a solution come to you =)

Anyways, no replies needed.
