Here is a copy of my xorg.conf file. It should be noted that, coincidentally, the two monitors are identical Syncmaster 753df's.

Are you saying you're running a dual monitor system?  If so, then the
problem would appear to be the frequencies are not set properly for the
second monitor.  This is in the xorg.conf file (or XF86conf).

I haven't set up this type of arrangement (yet), but others on the list
have.  I think you need to look into xinerama, or twin view.  (going
from memory).
