[LUNI] Linux Dual Monitor Support

[zemote]

I had minor troubles with configuring my NVidia card, fedora couldn't set
it up correctly but I managed.  I have an NVidia FX5200 based card.  Works
very well once you get your configs setup and is definately worth the
trouble.  I've been using dualhead for about 4 years now and it's
definately more productive to have 2 monitors than 1.  If you have
problems e-mail me and I will send you my config file.
