Help!, for the longest time I thought it was impossible to get Dual
Heads working on my 9200SE, until I sat down and read the man page for
radeon, I then hit google and found
thishttp://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-22412.html which seems
to give me a good start, now, I have dual heads sorta working on one
card, the issue right now is overlap, there is half a screen of overlap
on the second screen from the first one, so wise Ubuntu users.. can
someone please tell me what im missing?
