I suppose you are not interested in a "clone" set up? I was able to
set up my laptop (iBookG4) in clone mode to an external
monitor/projector. I am also able to use my desktop with dual-head
nvidia card for two monitors in "extended" desktop mode, ie two
different screens (two diff resolutions)..

this was very useful for me.. and some tweaking after that... if you
want i can post my xorg.conf. though i don't know if that will help
for the specific card that you have. What driver do you use btw?
