What's the command? "man xorg.conf" doesn't work for me. "man xorg" 
works but that's for X.org itself, not the config file.

I use that every time I upgrade, and it works well enough for a single 
display. But I doubt it would work for a dual display. It may be worth 
trying though... (nothing to lose except one's time).

Cheers,
Daniel.
