the radeon driver supports dualhead. you can either do it with two screen entries and xinerama or with my mergedfb patch (http://bugs.xfree86.org//cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=276). the IGP chipsets do not support HW 3D yet. Make sure your screen entries do not contain the "videoram" option as that will prevent dualhead from working. check the radeon and XF86Config man pages for more info.
Alex ---------------------------- Hello, I've an hp ze4430 laptop. It contains an ATI Radeon Mobility U1 (IGP 340M w/ 64MB shared memory). I am currently using the "radeon" driver that I believe was shipped with XFree 4.3. This graphics card has the ability to "extend" the desktop to 2048x78 using an external monitor. I have been unable to find any documentation about such a feature being supported (or not) by the radeon driver. I have attempted to obtain such a result by trying everything I know to do in my XF86Config file. I can get a 2048x768 desktop using the Xinerama option, but the extra desktop space does not display on the external monitor, rather in empty space next to the laptop's flat panel. I've also been successful cloning the display on both monitors using different methods (MonitorLayout and CloneDisplay). Does anyone know if the current radeon driver supports this feature or of any documentation that may contain information that will help me achieve this setup?
