No, as separate as possible. I don't even need to share the keyboard
and mouse (second display will be for output only). I have tried
xinerama, just to see does it work, but got no output on my second
head. Second head worked OK under W2000, by the way.

I've included it below. It has picked up information from the monitor
conected to the vga connector labelled #1.


Thanks for your interest,
