Ok, when I first posted to these forums one of the questions I asked was about dual monitor support in Ub. After a couple of days feverishly hunting around I finally came across this website.

The Laptop I have is an AMD 64 3000+ 1800MHz with the ATi Radeon Xpress 200 onboard chipset.

So it is a solution for me, and hopefully it will help someone else in the future. Not perfect, not as refined as I would like, but somewhere to start :guitar:

Edit: I should also mention http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page the ATi Linux Driver wikipedia! Very handy!

My 200M only had one output. I had to get a new card to use 2 monitors.
