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?

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.

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

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

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

I tried to do this once when my good old friend XaNaX gave me my first good video card for my 512 MB Compaq with a Integrated video card that made my eyes bleed. I believe he gave me a Radeon 9600, if I remember correctly. I was running Ubuntu 7.10 and I never got the second monitor ( my TV ) to work.
