FW: Dual Head

[Alan Hourihane]

Well, it could be a problem with the VideoBIOS as that's what the driver
has to use to setup dual head. Have you looked at the logfile to see if
there's any  problems ?

The later X11R7.3 doesn't use the BIOS anymore and is much more flexible
in it's mode setup. And you really should upgrade.

Alan.
