One is on board: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
One is PCI: 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34
[GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1)

I have been looking for an example of an xorg.conf file that has 2 video
cards and 2 monitors.  But so far nothing that really matches my
configuration.  Do you or anyone else have one?

wouldn't hurt to post your xorg.conf, too


As you can see mine is generic at this time.

# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the /etc/X11/xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man /etc/X11/xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
