Well I finally made the jump to linux on my laptop.
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*
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

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.

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

hope my request makes sense. Thanks.
