Good Tip.

nvidia-settings is a nice tool, but it looks like it does not recognize my second TFT :-(. In Ubuntu 7.10 the nvidia driver had no problems and I did not change anything on the hardware after/before the upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04. Ubuntu 7.10 did use nvidia-glx, didn't it? (not nvidia-glx-new).

Any more tips, please?

Thanks,

Thomas
