ATI Mobility chipsets can do this under Wintendo, but they can't (and
from what I've been able to find out the last time I went looking
won't for the conceivable future) do it under XFree86.  I know because
I've got a Vaio with a Mobility M that I'd really like to use dual
headed (because I've gotten spoiled with my two headed GeForce 4400 at
home).
