Default Duo LCD monitor setup with Radeon 8500 brightness level problem

I have 2 LCD's 1) KDS Rad 5 2) Viewsonic VP191 running on

P4 1.8mhz
ATI Radeon 8500 64mb retail (latest ATI drivers for the 8500 radeon as of
June 22, 2004)
Ram: 1 GIG
OS: Win XP Pro



The problem is that one monitor is brighter than the other, the Viewsonic is
connected to the DVI connector and the KDS is connected to the Analog. When
I unplug the Viewsonic then the brightness on the KDS is ok, when I plug it
back in it dims, I've already set brightness level to its highest for the
KDS, could this be caused by the video card not have 2 DVI inputs? OR could
it be a power supply issue? they both consume ~35 watts of electricity so
its not THAT much, my power supply is 300 - 350 watts I believe. Would
getting a card that has 2 DVI inputs resolve this issue? I just want both
LCD's to have the maximum brightness levels.

Has anyone experienced the same problem hooking a duo monitor display with
the Radeon 8500? Where one is significantly brighter than then other...
Thanks in advance for your input and advice.


Brandon
