How to enable dual monitors with a Ati Xpress 200 Video Card
How to enable dual monitors with a Ati Xpress 200 Video Card
Dual monitor really changes the way you work, and I got used to it under Windozz.
I had already managed to get dual head working under Dapper, but it had been a major pain.
Now, with Edgy, it has been quite easy.
A bit of googling may solve the problem.
First:
Enable 3d
(thanks to the ubuntu-it guide)
1) make a backup copy of your xorg.conf
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old
2) Install the driver with restricted-manager
sudo restricted-manager 
Enable the option... et voila!
Second: Use aticonfig
I use the command
sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --dtop=horizontal
and I am happily switching from one screen to the other...
