spanned dual portrait in CCC? is it possible?

hello.
Is it possible to rotate both displays, primary and secondary, with ATI CCC?
My objective is to have both displays in portrait, and span (stretch) the desktop horizontally across both. Is this possible?

well, and once I get this, I would like to play videos in a huge window that spans accross both monitors. I feel that this last objective will be impossible according to my fruitless Google searches, but I ask you just in case someone has a clue.

My current card is a Radeon 9200, not (yet?) supported by CCC, so I can't do the test myself. The current Control Panel or hydravision only allow for rotation of the primary screen.

I would buy a Radeon 9600 (supported by CCC) if I knew these things were possible.

I know you can rotate both monitors independantly of each other (thanks to a handy number of people requesting this to ATI)

You can also stretch the display onto a 2nd monitor if you so wish in a number of ways

I am not sure if you can do both at the same time, I would assume so but can no longer try that since I dont have my 2nd monitor now

probably the best bet would be to go into a computer shop and ask to try it

im sure the salesmen would let you as they would think they are getting a sale ... then you can order cheaper online

Also the CCC will work soon with R100 and R200 cards so if you can wait a little longer you can try it then

yes, I need both things at the same time.

oh, so the Radeon 9200 will be supported too by CCC? that is great.
But that will take a while... so if someone here can tell me now, much better.

Mmmm, about going to the shop...hehehe... no, no,
I prefer to ask here, I am very embarrased of doing these things.
I always buy online of course, more choice, better information, better price, and no salesman pressing you
