Bug Description
I have a Radeon 8500 AGP and a Redeon 7000 PCI video card installed. How can I make Ubuntu 7.04 run on the 8500 on my primary monitor instead of on my secondary monitor? Also, can I enable both monitors?
Thank you,
Vernon Brewer

Yes, this can be done using either Xinerama or MergedFB. Please see this HOWTO:

Bug #42731 covers the general issue that multi-head is difficult to configure, so I'm marking this a dupe of that for purposes of tracking.
