[xubuntu-users] configure Radeon video card for two screens

[Wybo Dekker]

Thanks. But looking for that I found that, in 12.04, after installing
fglrx, I got amdcccle which could do the job, although I still don't
know how to make it permanent (it's a remote machine, so it takes a lot
of time to find out...)
