"Dual Head" with ATi Radeon 9700
I have ATi Radeon 9700, and I am wondering if anybody has successfully set up a system with two monitors connected to that card? I am using SuSE 9.1.
In that case, which driver did you use? (ATi's own, the "radeon" driver etc...)
I just love the way Windows handles two (or more) connected monitors.

and for the record, windows manhandles dual monitor like a lump of dog poop. no really. it's attrocious once you see the freedom in X.
X now has built in support for not only multiple monitors, but virtual servers distributed over a network. your two monitors don't even need to be in the same country to be able to drag an app between screens... can windows do that on it's own???

Thanks.
SaX can not do it for me, but I can try to edit XF86Config myself.

@ acid_kewpie
How does it work? I mean the network-thing? Ihave been looking for that feature quite a while.
Is there some good howto somewhere?
Did you try it yourself? How good is it?
Does xorg do it also?
Greetings, Sascha
