When I try run startx when my Svideo cable is connected my screen goes into power saver mode and hitting ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing, doing the same thing without svideo connected an everything works fine except if I hit ctrl+alt+backspace because that makes the screen go int power saver mode for some reason. What is wrong :(

After about an hour of googleing I discovered that ati dosn't play well with two screens so I solved this by removing the crt from the xorg.conf and ensuring that it (the crt that is) isn't connected when I boot. I'll post my updated xorg.conf file here as soon as I finish some work I have to get done...
