I am *very* new to all of this, but I did manage to get the Maxtor G450 working in Dual Monitor mode on 9.10

 I used the exact instructions as Petr's above but changed both the ChipSet values to 'mga400' and the "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" values as seen in the xorg.conf file that I attached. Before changing the sync and refresh the second monitor at horizontal ribbons running across it.

The screen boots with an odd rectangle in the upper left, but that disappears. The resolution on Screen 1 needs to be reset for my monitor I think, but I have two almost acceptable monitors now. More work needs to be done.

Thank you to everyone!

I hope this post is okay. It's my first on any linux forum.
