Well, I have a sort-of good news update.

I've managed to get the dual head system running (I can move the mouse
from one display to another), however I can't seem to drag a window from
one display to the other. (Plus, theother display seems to be locked in at
800x600 no matter what I set in the config.)

So it's working, but only sort of. Any thoughts?
