video cables: 2 out of 3 ain't bad

[Mike Bushroe]

der.hans,

  because there is so much difference in how they implement VGA (limited
resolution, analog out, sync pulses, etc) and digital they many "dual head"
display drivers have one of each to make sure that what ever type of
display you have, they can drive at least one. So I fear that you quest for
2 digital displays is likely to fail, or require new hardware, not just new
software.

What are you using for video? X? You might need Xinerama to get full use of
both screens.
