I changed the @ to a , seperating my modelines of the 2 monitors and I
still get a desktop on my monitor but no longer on my TV,it just
flickers for a second like it's going to start then it goes back to
black.I changed it back to a @ to see if that made a difference but it
didn't.It's back to the , now.My XF86Config-4 file looks ok to me but I
pasted it in case anyone cares to look at it and maybe they'll see
something wrong.
