Dual Display
 

I want to install slack 9.1 on my home box, but have developed a recent addiction to Dual Displays. I'm using a Radeon 7200 w/VIVO and a Matrox Millenium II under XP's Multiple display support. (How)Can I get this working under Linux?

Hi, do you have 2 outputs on your graphic adapter?
i don't know how to enable the second one but i show you here my XF86Config, which enabled me to use a dual-head display with 2 graphic adapters:

I think I ought to be able to patch together a proper config from this.
Thanks!
