We failed to locate a multihead mode on the sax2 display for OpenSuse 
last Friday evening. A new user was forced to drop back from his 10.0 
install to 9.3 as he was not comfortable going home to different 
monitors and needing to edit the X-config file.

I believe there was discussion of this on the suse-xfree86 list.

my dual-screen CAD workstation until there will be time hand editing 
config files :-(
