Well I finally made the jump to linux on my laptop.<br>
I guess it is about time. I did start a LUG at my college and all, so
I might as well practice what I preach, eh. *smirk*<br>
<br>
I am having an issue though with my monitors. I noticed that with
Nvidia graphics cards I can easily setup a separate xserver for each
monitor or do xinerama if I want. But, my laptop is an old ATI radeon
mobility 7500<br>

I found a site where someone used a similar type card to get xinerama
to work and this might work for dual xservers without xinerama, but I
don't understand it.<br>

<br>
So what should I do for my xorg.conf to get the separate xserver on
each monitor?<br>
