I'm running dual-head on my laptop as I type this. It's a Sony VAIO
PCG-GR300, with a Radeon Mobility chip in it. Relevant parts of my
XF86Config:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Radeon Mobility"
Screen 0
Option "AGPMode" "2"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NoVBE"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card1"
Driver "ati"
VendorName "ATI"
BoardName "Radeon Mobility"
Screen 1
Option "AGPMode" "2"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
I found the NoVBE option to be required, as it was attempting to
autodetect the available modes for the second head, and seemed to be
getting them confused with the modes for the laptop's LCD panel. As
long as you specify the correct HorizSync and VertRefresh for the
second head, you should be okay. The Xinerama howto should cover
setting up the ServerLayout and whatnot.
