Windows 2000 and XP have built in support for using dual monitors with certain video cards. Is it possible to have dual monitors with RedHat 9? If so, how?

Hi!
I believe so

but I also think it depends on your graphic card. You maybe need the linux specific driver. It should come with documentation;
Do you want cloned monitors or just two independent screens?
Depending on what you want look for cloneview, twinview, tv-out, multiple X screens, ...
You also should check the X server configuration (man pages of XFree86, XF86Config..., and references therein.

Yes, sorta, kinda, maybe, your mileage may vary.

for info.
Using Xinerama seems to be the answer.
