Dear friends,

I now have two CRT monitors - a 17" and a 14" (or 15" I don't know exactly) 
and would like to use them both with SUSE Linux at a time, with the desktop 
being extended across the two (and not duplicated in the two).

My motherboard's in-built VGA system has only one VGA port in the back in 
which I currently plugin my 17" monitor. Now I need to purchase hardware that 
will help me attach the second monitor.

My friend said I need a VGA splitter (or joiner - he wasn't sure). I would 
like to have advice from the SUSE community on what hardware to purchase, so 
that it would be compatible with SUSE Linux.

Also, what would be the steps to follow to configure the display? I just go to 
SaX and activate Dual Head Mode and configure the second monitor, right?

Thank you for your quick reply. :) [I need to purchase this soon.]
