Hi guys,
Got 2007.3 up and running nicely but I'd like to use dual monitors - I've got two 120x1024 LCDs attached, one in the graphic card port, the other in the DVI, both attached to an ATI Radeon X600.
I know the card's capable of dual screens.
I've got a cloned version of my Pardus desktop on the second monitor, which is strange because my xorgconf below shows 'cloned off'.
What I'd like is to have one desktop stretching across the two screens (like I have in my Windows XP dual boot).
I noticed in xorgconf that Xinerama is "off" but I'm fairly sure it's not just a simple case of changing that to "on".
What other settings should be in there to get that one big desktop?
Here's my existing xorg.conf:

My primary monitor is the Acer (the secondary one is a Relisys).
From my limited understanding, it looks like the second monitor isn't correctly configured either - the default depth, at least, should be 24 and I'm fairly sure the refresh rates are wrong.
Any help you can give on getting this sorted would be much appreciated.
Cheers
