Posted by CmdrTaco on from the getting-just-a-little-crazy dept.

MikShapi writes "Most gamers out there today own a dual-head graphics card (most of us completely neglecting the second port), and games such as X2 are offering support for this already (at least on nVidia cards, due to the "span" driver feature).
