[ale] made the jump to linux on home machine

[jrtroberts at gmail.com (jrtroberts)]

Well I finally made the jump to linux on my laptop.
I guess it is about time.  I did start a LUG at my college and all, so I 
might as well practice what I preach, eh.  *smirk*

I am having an issue though with my monitors.  I noticed that with 
Nvidia graphics cards I can easily setup a separate xserver for each 
monitor or do xinerama if I want.  But, my laptop is an old ATI radeon 
mobility 7500

I found a site where someone used a similar type card to get xinerama to 
work and this might work for dual xservers without xinerama, but I don't 
understand it.

So what should I do for my xorg.conf to get the separate xserver on each 
monitor?

hope my request makes sense. Thanks.
