not to be a spelling snob, but I just had to fix it especially since it's been pointed out already

Two video cards? Radeon VE? Matrox G400 series?
You could try dri.sourceforge.net to start.
FYI, it's dual.

I realize that this is not very helpful. But duel monitors would require them to be able to take 10 paces and turn and shoot. Dual monitors is two monitors at once. And someone may be able to correct me but I seem to remember reading that there is a way, if your card supports it, but I do not remember where I saw this.

Yes it is possible. look at linuxdocs.org for the Xinerama howto to get you started. ive done it with a gforce MX and a diamond stealth2500

And for GeForce MX folks out there, nVidia's drivers support TwinView in Linux.
