Yeah, I actually came from Fedora 8 and dual head wouldn't work at all. Since then I've loaded up Fedora 7 and Fedora 9 preview... In Fedora 7, the DH works out of the box but yeah we've already talked about that.. The Fedora 9 Dual head dialog didn't work at all... There was no card to select in the '2nd video card' field for me and so I am a tad concerned about that... I hope it gets fixed for the release.

Sometime in 2007 I tried to use xrandr, but it did not work at all, even after de-installing and re-installing. yum said all was OK after re-installing, nut no way!
That's when I gave up on dual head. Let's see what FC9 brings...

I'm running Fedora 8/9 Preview, and the easiest way to do it would be to use the 'xrandr' (XResizeANDRotate) command to accomplish this. Fedora 7 had/has the command, but with limited support. Easiest way to do it would be to upgrade to Fedora 8, or wait another 16 days until Fedora 9 comes out. Then upgrade.

Hi there.. I was able to get dual-head working on my t42 (Radeon Mobility 7500) working out of the box to a certain extent but still not to my satisfaction. Is there a trick to getting a different resolution on each of the monitors? I have a 1024x768 LCD screen and a 1600x1200 VGA monitor and I had hoped to use each to the fullest extent. So far it hasn't worked with either extended desktop (which I prefer) or with the two desktop config.
Please help? Thanks.
