Dual monitor possible?

[Ashley Benton]

Hi,

Somebody gave me a Nvidia 3D fuzion graphics cards and as I had a second
monitor that I didn't used I am trying to set my computer to run the two
monitors. I am using ubuntu 6.10 and already installed the card inside the
computer. When I type lspci that's the last in the list but when I plug the
two screens only the one on the new card is working, the other stays black.
I went to ubuntu help and begun reading about xinerama but I'm lost. Can
somebody tell me if what I want to do is possible and how to do it? The
first card is the one that came with the computer and the second is the one
I just installed they are two different cards, That's why I wonder if what I
want to do is possible. Please remember that I am completely new and
beginning to learn.

Thank you

Megan

 if I open the text editor and go in /etc/X11/xorg.conf[read] I obtain the
following ( I only put the end of the page thinking that the beginning
wasn't relevant, let me know if it was)
