Mandrake Linux doesn't *support* multihead, since it's not part of their
distro. The tech support person you conversed with might not even have known
about multihead. You're talking to tech support after all :-)
As I said, I don't have the luxury of having a multihead monitor, so I can't
give you any configuration scripts or anything However, the X Windows System is
just another set of processes. I have seen two GUI's operating at the same time
with different X consoles, but on the same monitor, that the user could switch
between. With multihead, there's no reason not to have two monitors running two
separate GUI's. I would suggest looking at x.org, xfree86.org, etc.
