I've > searched google and the ATI website and have come up empty I don't know anything about getting an ATI Control Panel up and running, but as for dual-head, it can be done out-of-the-box for radeons using xorg or xfree86. You simply copy the relevant device, monitor, and screen sections giving each a unique name. I recommend Identifier "Screen1" and Identifier "Screen2" for the screens, the same with monitor section and device section. Then in each device section you give it a Screen line like Screen 0 and Screen 1. Then the only real tricky part is that in the ServerLayout section you'll need something like this: Screen 0 "Screen1" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen2" LeftOf "Screen1" One thing that you /may/ have to do (I've had it work both ways at different times) is put in an option (I can't remember what it's called offhand, but man radeon would tell you) that requires values like CRT, CRT or something like that. I'm sure the man pages are better with the syntax than I am :p Good luck. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.
