.B Dualhead Note:
-Changing modes on crtc2 in dualhead mode causes problems in
-some configurations. The workaround is to switch the mode, change to another
-VT, then change back.
+The video BIOS on some laptops interacts strangely with dualhead.
+This can result in flickering and problems changing modes on crtc2.
+If you experience these problems try toggling your laptop's video
+output switch (e.g., fn-f7, etc.) prior to starting X or switch to
+another VT and back.
