i got it to work! in the function "set_active_device", changeint this line

	r.ecx = iDevice; 
to this
	r.ecx = iDevice | DUO_ON;

as tim and d sen said.

unfortuantly i couldn't our video projector to sync toward the
1400x1050 resolution, suprise suprise. nb that i can get the video
projector to sync when only displaying crt with the same config
files... the video projector doesn't support 1400x1050 but it will
interpolate nicely to 1024x768. i think i'll have to fiddle around
with the vertical sync abit more.

well starting yet another Xserver on a display with 1024x768
resolution i got it to work, though the scaling didn't smooth it... :|
have to fix that later on. anyway it looks just fine on the projector
and the user seems happy enough to be able to switch between the :0
and :1 displays with ctrl-alt-7/8.

another problem is that the vc really loses it when doing this but
i'll figure something out...

last, i big big thank you to ye all for all your help --thanks! :)

yours,
/robert

ps. i'll be back :) ds.
