It depends on your video card configuration.

If you have a card with dualhead built in, then it's usually just proper
drivers from the manufacturer.

It seems that 8.2 automatically installs and recognizes dualhead on a
video card.

I'm running the Matrox G400 MAX.  My business partner's running the G550
I believe.  He installed 8.2 on that machine recently and it saw in the
install that he had dual display support, installed the driver.  All he
had to do was install Matrox's software to configure the dual display.

If you're going to use two video cards, things can be much different and
at times more difficult.  But it's possible.  I've toyed with the idea
of putting a second video card in my workstation to stretch my display
total to 3, but not sure it's worth it.

It is very do-able.  It's been possible for a while now as I understand
it.  Just depends on how you go about implimenting it.
