Backed up xorg.conf as old, generated a new one and ran the
nvidia-xconfig, rebooted.  when trying the ubuntu display config, it
doesnt recognize the second card.  All I have the option of doing is
adjusting each monitor connected to one of the cards. (geforce 9800gt)

tried "detect displays" as well.

this is my current xorg.conf  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9599984/

and this is current nvidia settings, http://imgur.com/QGsPSQh  I
havent touched anything yet.  both cards show up, and the second one,
geforce 6200 is currently disabled by default.  only option i have for
that one is to create new xscreen.

I know the 6200 is old, you think its just not supported anymore by
the current driver?

thanks.
