Two monitors on a Matrox G450.

[peter@easthope.ca]

A CRT monitor and an IBM flat monitor are connected to a Matrox G450  
adapter.  Both monitors display the command line interface.  With X 
running, the monitor on output 1 is active; the monitor on output 2 
indicates absence of signal.  If the monitors are swapped across the 
output connectors, output 2 continues to indicate absence of a signal 
while output 1 works.  From that I conclude that the monitors are OK.

* Do the following reports help to localize the problem to the video 
adapter or to software?  
* "Failed to get size of gamma for output default"?
* Other ideas?

Thanks,                ... Peter E.
