Cool. Thanks for the feedback. I am inclined to just use a dual out video card that comes with modern laptop machines (I'm still shopping so I couldn't try it out myself yet).
What are you using software-wise (I think it was Jason who experimented around with some program to manage dual monitors ... i.e. I saw this post [1] on nvidia-specific Xorg configuration but I know Jason was doing something else). I am just curious on what the differences are between a pure Xorg setup vs. some alternative solution. Pardon my ignorance on this; I haven't had the hardware to play around with this to accurately articulate what I mean.
