My apologies for the length of this message, but it's necessary to provide
all the pertinent info. If this is more pertinent to an Xorg list, point
me there, but I've googled like crazy and haven't seen anyone discussing
this problem.
I just did a fresh install of 5.4 RELEASE, and I'm having a very weird
problem with xorg. I'm running a dual head, single video card setup (ATI
Radeon X300) using xinerama, and when I first start xorg-server, the right
monitor does not display anything. The light on the monitor is green,
indicating that it's getting a signal, but the screen is blank. Some time
later the second monitor will begin displaying its half of the desktop.
Through testing, I've determined that the second monitor displays only
*after* the system has gone to sleep (acpi). If I put the system to sleep
quickly, as soon as it wakes up, the second monitor displays. (This is a
dual boot system, and the Windows XP setup displays both monitors just
fine, so I know it's not a hardware problem - it's a brand new box anyway -
although it *could* be a driver problem, I suppose. I've tried both the
ati driver (which is what xorg -configure detects) and the radeon driver
with no change in behavior.)
When I first installed, everything worked as expected - both monitors
displayed immediately. After I cvsup'd and ran portupgrade, I began to get
this behavior. Assuming it was something in the upgrade of xorg-server, I
deinstalled xorg and xorg-server, reinstalled from the packages on the CD
and restarted X. Nothing changed.
I've thought about deinstalling xorg-client as well (and maybe libraries?)
or just remove all packages and start over, but before I do that, is there
a way to debug this? I've been reading man pages, but I can't seem to find
a way to start the xorg-server with a debug switch (or verbose, for that
matter) enabled so I can get some useful messages in the logs. (Sure hope
you don't have to compile to get debug!)

You'll notice that the display logs indicate a problem with BusID 1:0:1,
but that's because I'm not using it.:
