Thank you,
I am now on Hardy 8.04 and can't make it work. In 7.10 version there was a simple utility like in windows in which you just said you wanted an extended desktop. Where has that gone? The "screen resolution" app. does identify both screens but can only clone them, there is no option to have extended desktop. Thanks for your feed back.
I still had to add the Virtual statement in xorg.conf, but after that I just used System->Preferences->Screen Resolution. Unhooked the "Clone Screens", and dragged one monitor to the right of the other one, and set the resolutions.
