Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get dual screen working on my pc but so far no success.
This is my (dual head) video card: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200]
My distro is Suse 9.2, X-version is Version 6.8.1
Did I make a mistake in my xorg.conf or do I need another driver? I 
included the relevant parts of my xorg.conf below,
thanks!

Chantal
