I too remember quite distinctly reading an article which showed how to setup two individual displays on a laptop even with the chip driver not supporting dual heads. It used xinerama. Right now I cannot find the link. Google around I am pretty sure theres a hack for this.
Xinerama is not the same as Multihead. With Multihead you have two (or more) displays that work independently. With Xinerama two (or more) displays work as one. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/intro.html
