[TriLUG] Uni-dual monitor linux display...

[Randy Barlow]

I'm sorry, I spoke too soon.  You need to set up another screen, but I 
actually don't know how to do that part (anyone else give this a stab?) 
for a video card that has two outputs.  But, once you have that done, do 
something similar to:

 Screen "Screen 0"
 Screen "Screen 1" RightOf "Screen 0"

in the "ServerLayout" section at the end.  Sorry I can't help you on the 
1 video card with two outs thing though, I have no idea about that one.  
I'm using two separate cards to do it here.
    The Xinerama thing that I recommeded before will extend the desktop 
over the two monitors instead of them each having their own task bar, 
but I actually prefer not to use Xinerama because it does a lot of other 
funky stuff.  But try it out and see what you think, don't take my word 
for it...
