I just installed 5.4 RELEASE, cvsup'd the ports and portupgraded everything
to current. I'm using one ATI Radeon X300 card and two monitors with
Xinerama. When I first login, only the left screen displays its half of
the desktop. (I'm using gdm and gnome, but xdm with twm does the exact
same thing.)
After a while (30 minutes or more) the right monitor will begin displaying
its half of the desktop.
I've been hunting through the logs and googling trying to figure out what
the cause is, but so far I'm stumped.
This is a copy of the most recent display log (but they all look about the
same.)

If anyone has a clue or can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate
it. I've already posted my xorg.conf file to the list, so I won't do that
again. Look through the archives.
