...which is thoroughly and beautifully commented, and came in |

very handy when I configured my own system last month. |

One distinction which you might not be aware of: there are |
| 21 |
typically two ways to run dualhead: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
1) Xinerama: one big "screen". You can slide windows from |
| 24 |
one monitor to the other. |
| 25 |
2) Multi Screen: two semi-independent displays. Switching |
| 26 |
virtual desktops on one will not affect the other. |
| 27 |

I much prefer (2), but you rarely hear about it these days. |
