Hi guys,can u tell me if xfree86 4.0 supports dual head mode on my video
card?

It's not just XF86, I think the dual-head mode has to be set up and
compiled in the kernel.  I know that as of 2.2.16, it's still experimental.

It is apparently possible to do this with the 2.4 kernel.
The kernel must be compiled with support for dual-head, framebuffer, and
the G400.
In XFree86 it means using the fbdev driver and not the MGA.

That's the theory of it. I don't know of anyone trying (including myself).
One of theses days I will give it a try.
