Re: [TCLUG:2390] Dual Screen on Linux

[Peter Lukas <peter@math.umn.edu>]

Better yet, Metro X supports multi-headed displays for $39.  What's more,
they acturally ship "working" drivers with their product as opposed to
Xi's falsely-touted driver database.  It is possible to get multi-headed
displays under XFree86 although I've never tried it.
