Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm mainly interested in
having the same display on both screens, like for presentations or using
my desktop monitor as the only monitor. Having different displays would
be nice, but not so important.

Please post the output of the following three commands:

lspci | egrep -i 'vga|display|graphic'
awk '/Section "Device|Screen|ServerLayout"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

(Run the "egrep ..." command right after you start up xorg.)


tyler@blackbart:~$ lspci | egrep -i 'vga|display|graphic'
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile
945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML
Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

[ snip: normal-looking excerpts from xorg.conf for a single display ]

<...restarted X...>

tyler@blackbart:~$ egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[ snip: font path errors; you can remove these obsolete entries from
your xorg.conf.]

(WW) I810: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found

That looks like the driver expects a second "Device" section for the
0:2:1 PCI ID. This is very different from the Intel chipsets which I
know, so I might not be able to help you much.

(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 failed.
(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23

[ snip: similar AIGLX warnings ]

I think the other warnings are not directly related to the dual head
issue. I just made some more suggestions to another poster in this
thread

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/02/msg00124.html

but I am afraid that I have reached the end of my knowledge.
