I heartily recommend nVidia, their drivers work nicely. Dual head is support=
ed. Driver installation is simple, just download, extract, make install. Als=
o you gotta install x11/nvidia-settings, with this tool it is really easy to=
 configure screen layout etc.

If you do have something against closed sourced drivers then I have no idea w=
hat to use except Google.
