5 First, make sure you have xinerama in USE. If not, add it, and do an
6 "emerge --newuse world". Xinerama is the X extension that lets
7 applications know about multiple monitors, so that popups and font
8 sizes work out correctly.

10 I don't have an ATI graphics chip any more, but based on a thread [1]
11 on the rage3d forums, I believe you'll need the following lines in
12 your Device section:
13
14 Option "MerdgedFB" "true"
15 Option "CRT2HSync" "30.0-90.0"
16 Option "CRT2VRefresh" "60-100"
17 Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf"
18 Option "MetaModes" "1280x800+1280x1024"
19 Option "MergedXinerama" "on"
20 Option "MergedNonRectangular" "on"
21 Option "MergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0" "false"
