[TriLUG] T60 and dual monitors - FC5

[Cristobal Palmer]

Honestly I don't know enough about video niceties to know if it will
be helpful, but here is how I have dualhead working on my desktop:

<snip>

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]"
        Driver          "radeon"
        Option          "MergedFB" "true"
        Option          "CRT2Position" "LeftOf"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "DELL E176FP"
        Option          "DPMS"
        HorizSync       31-80
        VertRefresh     56-75
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "2DELL E176FP"
        Option          "DPMS"
        HorizSync       31-80
        VertRefresh     56-75
EndSection

</snip>

I gave up on xinerama.

Good luck,
CMP
