    I do not know which Distribution you use. But I'm doing well with my openSUSE 10.2. Never had to tweak anything in my xorg.conf to use my two monitors, even with the crappy ATI drivers which are really poor for Linux. Just used Catalyst to config.

      The most efficient use of the four keys that form the third row on your QWERTY keyboard. Along with CTRL key: Z: Undo X: Cut C: Copy V: Paste Wouldn't this be simply powerful and most commonly used key combination?

                It is also colloqially known as 'Three-Fingered-Salute' right? And beyond doubts, it is a great tribute to David Bradley(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bradley_%28engineer%29[^]). :) Wiki Page on C+A+D: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Alt-Delete[^]

                      Hey, Thanks for the info. I have been using two flat panel monitors at my workplace for around 2 years, did not know that was called as "windows multimonitoring". Mr. Gates uses three monitors for daily work(checking emails), if I am not wrong.

                            Multimonitoring means that only one PC (and mouse and keyboard) makes the work on all monitors. So you can move one window to the other monitor. I like it because I can move the non-liked stuff to the secondary screen.:-O

                                    Just love it when I copy a couple of dozens of files and find that some are already in the destination and when asking to keep or replace, "No to all" is not between the choices!

                                      True. But if the business requirements are like that, we ought to live with that right?
