[GLLUG] dual monitor's

Whenever I have the issue of the screen not coming out of hibernate when 
trying a Xorg configuration I personally have had issues with the color 
depth settings - I get rid of all but the one that the screen likes 
(usually 16 or 24) and then try again - works.  Don't know if that 
applies to your issue, just my 2 cents :)
