Dual head? I suppose you mean dual monitor...
That seems pretty straight forward.
See to it that you have the 3D drivers installed - you can do that with the help of envy
First get the latest envy - look at the Planet for september 19

Then edit xorg.conf slightly, but back it up first
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
Under the screen section, add the following lines:
If you want other resolutions change accordingly
Restart X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and you should have two screens. If the orientation of the screens is off, try this under the “Screen†heading…
Option “TwinViewOrientation†“LeftOfâ€
LeftOf can be LeftOf, RightOf, Below, Above, or Clone.
