Dont get me wrong, I'm very *nix proficient, but fuck - as it stands, setting up dual screen is a fucking PITA. Mind you, that's if you're working with Nvidia. ATI? Forget it.
If anyone happens to know a workaround for this, please let me know.

I always found it pretty easy, the hardest was when I had two video cards going in 1999... In recent distros though it's been a breeze using the graphical utilities that come with Fedora and Ubuntu.
