ATI 9800 Pro and Horizontal Span Mode

Hi. Is anyone using a 9800 Pro in two monitor, horizontal span-mode without CCC? If so, how? I wanted to try the Omega drivers, so I installed them. But found out that I cannot run left and right outside view/ span-mode-horizontal without Catalyst Control Center. So, even though Omega drivers tells you not to install CCC, I did anyways, just to have Horizontal-span mode. Seems to be OK. Of course if there is another way, preferably without the CCC hogging a quarter of my systems resources, I'd be happy if someone could tell me. Thanks.
