Matrox G400, Dual Head, Xinerama

Hiya,

I've recently stuck a Matrox G400 into my  Ubuntu Dapper,
2.6.15-27-386 kernel, machine.  As this is a dualheaded card, I want
to try getting two monitors working on it.  Monitor 1 seems to work,
but I can't get anything to appear on monitor 2.  I've downloaded the
drivers from Matrox and run the install.sh and that seemed to go fine.
 But no matter what I put in my xorg.conf I can't seem to get any
output at all on  monitor 2 no matter how many times I restart gdm.
:-(

My xorg.conf is available at
http://james.cummingsfamily.org.uk/xorg.conf if anyone has any
suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
-James
