on the card, there is a connection for head 1 and one for head 2. let's
say one is on the left and two is one the right with windows, then with
linux it will be the opposite. sorry if I was not clear.
why that? I do not know.
how to do it? bend over, swap the cable and watch for the table when you
stand up ;-)
in fact I just saw that matrox provides a piece of software that allow
you to position the monitors as you wish, even on the top of each other.
here is the file, the monitors are two viewsonic A95f
