Two screens
Hi All Is it possible to use two screens with X ? I mean one will be the Laptop screen and the other will be CRT connected to the laptop. Currently if I do this its only duplicate the laptop output to the CRT and I want it to be as I use it with win XP, different desktop on each CRT. Cheers -- Canaan Surfing Ltd.

For more info about each screen and how to define it better you may look in http://www.xfree86.org/sos/resources.html You will find there info about your video cards and what parameters to use in XF86Config.
