Sorry, got a lot of work to do this week.
For ati you need the ati linux driver, then you can use the ati config tool
to manage the displays. This needs to compile and it is not working on some
computers. If it is complicated or not working try r128.
For r128 you can do 'man r128' to get info about the options. there are also
plenty of setup hints in the web
