dual monitor

[Jared Greenwald]

I have an on-board Radeon HD 4200.  I'm using the opensource radeon
driver dual head on VGA/HDMI.  I tried using the ATI binary driver and
couldn't get it to work.  Also, when you first boot up the system
after install it comes up in mirrored mode (where both screens show
the same output).  Just go in an open the Monitor Preferences app
under the System->Preferences->Monitor and you should be able to setup
the screen outputs.
