I did the similar setup with a Nvidia GeForce FX card. There are actually two type of dual display. The one you wish is called TwinView( at least by NVidia) and the other one i think is Xinerama. Just go through the archives to see some previous mails. I am presently composing a complete document on the same it is in very preliminary stage but might help you in solving your problem, So you can try accessing it here.

Hello all this is my first time posting to the list
Have been trying this for several months now to no avail. Right heres my setup Slackware 9.1 Asus A7N8X mobo Radeon 9500 (non pro) 17"crt , 15" TFT
what i am wanting to do is to have a dual display setup which enables me to move from one screen to the other, with both screens being used to their full potential.
I have managed to get clone mode and dual head mode working with the new ATI drivers
in the dual head mode both screens show the same output but you can move your mouse from one screen to the other however you can only click on objects in the primary monitor (sounds wierd i know :P)
ive asked on forums all over the place...nobody seems to have an answer.
Anybody know how to resolve this problem?
Kane
