S3 Savage IX dualhead configuration
 
savage(4) man page says dualhead operation is supported on MX, IX, and SuperSavage chips. But it doesn't tell how to configure and enable dualhead operation. If i type xrandr in console, it says:
Code:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
  1024x768      60.0*
  800x600        60.0    56.0
  640x480        60.0
  640x400        60.0
  512x384        70.0    60.0
  400x300        60.0    56.0
  320x240        60.0

So, it doesn't support different outputs out of the box.
My chip:
Code:

$ lspci|grep VGA
01:01.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13)

How can i enable dualhead operation?

Edit: I checked this controller in windows, and it really does support dualhead operation, so the question is _how_ to enable this in xorg.
