Description of problem:
When I connect my second monitor, the first dies. This set up worked fine on F17, but after upgrading I can't get it to play nice.
The first boot after install, it took me a while to realise the 2nd monitor was killng the first. I disconnected it and hard rebooted, and I was able to use the computer again.
Now, if I plug the 2nd monitor in, and go to Displays, the first monitor goes black, there's no obvious way out of this apart from unplugging the 2nd monitor and hard rebooting.
This is using the DVI and VGA outputs on my AMD motherboard.
Here's lspci in case it helps ...
