It's generally in the XF86Config file where dual heads are set up and used. There are many examples in the forums. It just depends on what you want to do. I have mine set so that the second output is a different x server. I have two seperate desktops, one on each window. If that's what you want, I'll be happy to post my config file for you. If not, check into xinerama.
