[ILUG] Dual monitor setup recommendations

[Ian O'Connell]

I'm running 2 24" Acer LCD's at home off a debian setup(and 2 dell 18"
ones at work), its pretty easy to setup with both nvidia and ATI cards
these days, though given the extra options and ease(if you use the
nvidia closed source driver) i'd go with a decent nvidia card and ye
should have bo bother with it. I've Xconf's for both cards(nvidia 5200
for the twin 18" and Ati X1900XT for the twin 24") around if you like,
but it shouldn't be needed really. I don't use any rotation options
though, i just find dual montiors far better for
programming/multi-tasking...
