Dual head t42 with Fedora 7, tricks?

Hi there.. I was able to get dual-head working on my t42
(Radeon
Mobility 7500) working out of the box to a certain extent
but still not
to my satisfaction.  Is there a trick to getting a different
resolution
on each of the monitors?  I have a 1024x768 LCD screen and a
1600x1200
VGA monitor and I had hoped to use each to the fullest
extent.  So far
it hasn't worked with either extended desktop (which I
prefer) or with
the two desktop config.

Please help?  Thanks.

I'm running Fedora 8/9 Preview, and the easiest way to do it
would be to 
use the 'xrandr' (XResizeANDRotate) command to accomplish
this.  Fedora 
7 had/has the command, but with limited support.  Easiest
way to do it 
would be to upgrade to Fedora 8, or wait another 16 days
until Fedora 9 
comes out.  Then upgrade.

Yeah, I actually came from Fedora 8 and dual head wouldn't
work at all.
Since then I've loaded up Fedora 7 and Fedora 9 preview...
In Fedora 7,
the DH works out of the box but yeah we've already talked
about that..
The Fedora 9 Dual head dialog didn't work at all... There
was no card to
select in the '2nd video card' field for me and so I am a
tad concerned
about that... I hope it gets fixed for the release.
