well i got dual head to work on the macbook - however one question
remains - how do i control the resolution on the 2nd screen ? no
matter what options i try in the xorg.conf i get two black bars on the
top on bottom of the display (and the ati documentation SUCKS) - the
monitor claims it's running in full res but ... my xorg.conf is below
.. this is on x1600 , macbook pro , 2.6.20 , ati 8.34
