the problem, let alone suggest a cure. Can you describe your setup and
your problem in more detail?"

Many video cards now support both analog and digital outputs. Some even
support multiples of one or the other. One card = two monitors (or more)
in many cases

Peter:
Show us
your current XF86Config file
the last X log file
the results of 'lspci -v'

Tell us /exactly/
how you set up your hardware,
what the problem is,
what do you /expect/ to happen,
what /actually/ happened,
what you did to correct the problem, and
what happened when you did it.

And, while you are at it, please read
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
which will explain /why/ your original question was unanswerable, and
how you should ask it properly.
