I forgot to mention that I'm running a dual-head on a Matrox G550.  I had 
previously been using mga_hal, but wasn't sure if I needed it after reading a 
readme supplied with the mga_hal port.  I had previously gotten two files 
from the Matrox web site for my card.  mga_hal only supplies one of them. 
Anyway, reinstalling the mga_hal port cures my blank second head problem.
