[plug] DualHead/Multihead/TwinView whatever !!!

[Adrian Woodley]

G'Day,
        I'm pretty sure that XFree supports xinerama - multiheaded 
displays without using special hardware. As far as I can remember, your 
cards don't even have to be the same, however you are limited to using 
the same colour depth. Theres a Howto about this floating about the 
ether. This maybe an even cheaper option.

Regards,
Adrian Woodley
