Hello,
I am running Slackware 10.2 and I have been trying to get my dual montiors working on it. For some reason no matter what I do it continues to run a mirrored image.

Not a Slackware problem. :P
Well is there some setting that needs to be set that I am missing or what? Maybe it is just not possible I do not know. Also I am missing a lot of dependencies and I have been manually installing them all, anyone know a easy way to do somesort of bulk install.
That's your video card drivers.
What card are you using?
On my Radeon Mobility 9200, I run fglrxconf

Choose configuration from the list below
1. Single Head (1 screen, second dark)
2. Mirror Mode (2 screens - same content, identical refresh rate/resolution)
3. Clone Mode (2 screens - same content, allows for different refresh rates/resolutions)
4. Big Desktop (2 screens - one framebuffer)
5. Dual Head (2 screens - two drivers)
That should work on any ATI card if you're using the proper (fglrx) drivers.
