[ale] laptop with dual monitor

[Michael D. Hirsch]

Lots of laptops can support dual monitors, now.  In windows, if you plug a 
monitor into the back you can get two displays--one on the LCD and a 
different one on the monitor.  Windows can be dragged from one display to 
the other.

I know that in general, X under Linux supports this behavior, too, but you 
have to have the right video card.  Does anyone have a particular 
laptop/notebook model, or chipset, that they can connfirm has support for 
this?

If I can find a decent laptop that supports this I can almost definitely 
get several important converts to linux at work.  There are several people 
who would like to use Linux, but Linux can't do dual monitors on our 
Compaq Armadas.  But it is time to upgrade, so if I can find a laptop that 
works I'll get several people to at least try it.

Thanks,

Michael
