Re: Multiple monitors and XF86

Huh??

I had no problem with this, just set your refresh rates manually in 
the XF86Config for the monitor.  The laptop display will ignore these
anyway.  

In fact, I just plugged in a nice big monitor and it worked.  
I have not had time to fiddle with the Dual Head capability
of the Radion 75 chipset yet, but slaveing an external monitor
was a no-brainer.  Finding an external that could do 1600x1200,
was a bit trickier, and I had to back down to 1280x1024.
