sleep

Recently I put my second monitor on my computer.

I have now two connections on my ATI graphic card: a VGA and newly added a DVI one. like this:

Sine that, I need to start my computer with monitors powered ON, because if I do it after, thay does not "get up" and says that is "no video entry". alt text

Also, if I switch OFF my monitors when computer works, switching ON lets them in the sleep state...

How can I fix this issue.
