Smile Graphics Driver


Hi,

I'm using Debian with KDE 3.5 and I have an PCI-E nVidia GeForce 7300 (typical nVidia graphics card)

How can I get graphics to work with this so everything runs more smoothly and also how can I set up my second monitor. Currently both monitors just show the same thing. (I have dual screens set up through DVI)

Thank you!

Have you installed the nvidia drivers ? If so if you have qt there is a program that allows you to control the dual monitor setup.
