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. </blockquote><div> I dit it by doing this: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgradesudo apt-get install nvidia-glx <code>sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite</code>Restart your X by logging out and in or by pressing ctrl+alt+backspacesudo nvidia-settings After the last command, a window to configure you display will open. You just need to go to X Server Display Configuration and configure the dual monitor with the resolutions you want. I'm not sure if this will work, considering that you have 2 graphic cards, and you are not running feisty. It worked with me, but I have 1 card where I plug both of my monitors. I hope it helps. Any problem, just post back. --Valeriano </div></div>
