Multi-Head was introduced (at least in a stable release) with XFree86 4.0,
so chances are you'll have to upgrade your X server for that. I have no idea
if documentation exists for setting it up.
Xi Graphics has supported multihead with the Millenium cards for at least 5
years - all the way back to when I last worked for them. I don't remember
how the setup was, but in 5 years I'd think they would have made it
pretty straight forward. www.xig.com
