Dual monitor possible?

[Ashley Benton]

Ok, I will go in the BIOS settings and try but I don't know how to restore
the original xorg.conf since I did a backup of the file after I had put the
other card in the computer. I would think that this back up was done too
late to be of any use. I installed a backup program on the computer but I
don't know how to use it and have no idea if it's working. I went to check
in the terminal and put the result so you will know if there is a backup
here and if it can be useful.

meg at meg-desktop:~$ cd /var/backup
bash: cd: /var/backup: No such file or directory
meg at meg-desktop:~$ cd /var
meg at meg-desktop:/var$ ls -l
total 48
