Thanks Peter,
The file seems short to me as well. Compared with the file  from
system-config-display, it should function properly.
Now I get it work. but i am still not sure why it didnt work. I swap
two moniters and disable some settings about vga in bios. I need to
try it again. I found it is odd if using dual head needs change
setting in bios.

^_^ Mian
