You have two options: Screen based multi-head and mergedfb.
for screen based multi-head you need to add a separate screen, adapter,
and monitor section for each head in your config file like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1280x1024"
HorizSync 31.5 - 67.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor1"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1280x1024"
HorizSync 31.5 - 67.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard1"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility M6"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 1
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Videocard1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
If you want xinerama you need to add Option "xinerama" to the
serverflags section of your config, or add it to the command line.
________________________
Mergedfb is a little different. there is only one screen section and
there are quite a few options. see my page
(http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276) or Thomas' page
(http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml) for more info about
mergedfb. I have a sample config available here:
http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/mergedfb/cvs/final/XF86Config
Mergedfb has several advantages over 'regular' multi-head such as HW 3D
being available on both heads.

Hello all.
I'm trying to set up a dual-head configuration on RH9 with a Hercules
3D Prophet 7000 \
Dual-head (that's two VGA connectors) card, which is a Radeon 7000 with
two VGA \
connectors. I've searched Google & newsgroups, but have yet to find a
working \
solution. The best I was able to achive was having both displays
showing the same \
thing. I'd be happy to get Xinerama working, though I'd be satisfied
with simply \
setting up the card correctly and running a seperate X server on each
of the two \
display. Does anyone has a Radeon 7000 (or 3D Prophet 7000, or any
other Radeon-7000 \
based card with 2 VGA heads) with two VGA heads working and can share
his/hers \
XF86Config file?
Thanks,
Alon.
