Dual Monitor in Linux?

[X03]

Can anyone give me a quick guide on how to enable dual monitors in Linux?

I'm running gnome with Compiz Fusion.

I can enable dual monitors in my nVidia config. I think the command is nvidia-config in a console although I'm not entirely sure.

Same with me. I use the nVidia driver to enable dual screens although I have found some issues.

Isn't dual monitor a plug and play feature?

[TcM]

Well, you have to plug the cable in lol... But I think you have to configure it?

I did it once, with my laptop and PC monitor... I don't remember though.

That might depends from the video card and drivers..

[Tor]

You have to configure it in your Video Driver (Either nVidia or ATI). I'm not sure about ATI's ability to do it.

[TcM]

I think ATI cards do have the ability of using a dual monitor.

=p My uncle runs Dualies with nVidia =]

[Jordan]

That is what I run it with. What Flavor is he using? Does he have any problems with the dual screens?
