The problem of kudzu replacing the entry is OK and does not matter ...
Ur problem is entirely Xconfiguration i think ....
Most Boards allow more than one card ... and u can select the primary card
to be PCI or AGP in the BIOS ... Since ur Pci scan shows both cards u donot
have a problem there. And what do u mean when u say that kudzu supresses the
other card?
If u have setup the /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 depending
on if ur using XFree86 3.x.x or 4.x.x (if ur runnin RH7.1 or above it's
usually 4.x.x)according to the Xinerama howto then u do not have a problem
....
How exacly does ur XF86Config look like ?
check that and see if everything looks alright ...
there must be 2 monitors , 2 device with the Bus ID's set properly, 2 screen
sections and one Serverlayout with both the screens if all that is done
then ur screens will atleast blink ...
Cheers
Ani
