My laptop has a VGA output, and I got dual-headed support set up pretty
easily with xrandr.
The problem is that the laptop is a bit of a black box and Just Worked,
so I'm not sure how to get a desktop machine going this route.
My desktop has, according to lspci a "Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ",
which also Just Works for a single display with Compiz enabled.
I'd like to make the desktop dual-head. Anybody know which of these is
simplest/cheapest:
1) Just buy another video card, any brand, put it in, install drivers,
and it will Just Work using xrandr
2) Cannot mix <insert brand> with Intel on-board, so must buy a
dual-port video card and disable on-board
3) Any other options?
