XF86Config/X.org Configuration File for 2 X Screens on a Laptop or Notebook

This is an example XF86Config/X.org file for setting up 2 X screens on a laptop or notebook (it also contains the synaptics touchpad and USB mouse as input devices). The file is configured to use the TV out in UK PAL format as the second monitor, this should be adjusted as necessary for your particular setup, e.g. NTSC (to use this with XFree86 rename it to XF86Config, with XOrg rename it to xorg.conf - on SUSE 9.2 this is not neccessary as xorg.conf is a symlink to XF86Config).

See also XF86Config-TwinView .
