Nvidia 6600 on Fedora Core 6, Can't use dual monitor


Howdy,

I have a brand spankn' new installation of Fedora Core 6.

I have an nvidia GeForce 6600 and I cannot get my dual head display to work.

It keeps crashing out the xserver on reboot. There is no particular error. Ive done some searching around to fix this problem but all my refresh rate changes and such do not help.

Please let me know if you need any other information to proceed.

This is my xorg.conf file

Still nothing

I looked over the article posted and nothing. I tried to do all the configs I understood and nothing.

Just to clarify i'm using the PCI-Express Nvidia 6600 with 512mb of ram. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

It is dual head with one vga and one DVI port.

Thanks in advance.
