While I'm planning my new system the possibility of a dual display arises (at very little cost as far as I can see). Does Linux support dual displays and, if so, in what sort of way does it do it?
Xfree86 and Xorg both support multi-head displays. I'm currently running three screens on *this box ;)
The important bit, once the two (or three) device, monitor, and screen sections have been defined is the Server Layout. Snipping from my active Xfree86 config:
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "Screen1" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen0" RightOf "Screen1" Screen 2 "Screen2" LeftOf "Screen1" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection
Section "ServerFlags" Option "Xinerama" "1" EndSection
