I've had it working on my Shuttle, which has dual on-board MX400 graphics (but
I've since disabled twinview, coz I'm only lugging 1 screen around), with info
from these (but I never got the tv out working as well!):


This msg has some info, generally there is plenty of info about setting up dual

This msg has an X config file attached, which does work
