Dual monitor on Radeon Mobility X700

Hello everybody,

I just spend several hours by googling how to set-up dual monitor my laptop.
Have to say that I really don't where to start.
Can anybody give me some advice or link on some good article with this topic.
Thanks for any help.

Switching between clone and non-clone mode?

(line Option "Metamodes")... this should be possible by Alt-Ctrl- -/+
I got this result:

Just info for others...

It is much easer with xrandr ... In my case it means wait for newer driver, radeon 6.6.3 dasn't support new features.

I posted some xorg.conf files which may help

Hi,

I previously posted xorg.conf files for nVidia, Matrox and ATI cards. Back your xorg.conf file up first mind but my ATI entry may help you.

Thanks Steve

I will check this, but after hours of googling I think that new driver should make life much easer.
