i've seen this question asked before both in the forums and on this list, but
after going through all the answers i found, it still isn't working, and so i
post:
i have a celery box here running an ati radeon (/proc/pci says its an: ATI
Technologies Inc Radeon VE QY). the thing is dual-headed, (one svga, one
lcd) and a (former) coworker had it working in windows xp, so i know what i
want is possible. all i want is the typical dual-monitor setup. drag mouse
from one screen onto the next (xinearama is what i want right?)
but here's the problem: from the start of this whole thing (ie. when i
started the gentoo install) the both displays have been active as a clone of
each other. ie, what you see on one screen is exactly the same as on the
other). i figured that this would go away once i installed x with xinerama,
but instead, i just get two identical x windows. move the mouse in one, and
the mose moves in both. any enlightenment would be helpful. here's a copy
of my x config:

too long have the workers of the world waited for some moses to lead them out
of bondage. i would not lead you out if i could; for if you could be led
out, you could be led back again. i would have you make up your minds there
is nothing that you cannot do for yourselves.
