Hi folks,

I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 as of a week ago (first foray into linux that's lasted more than 3 days) and it's generally going well. I am unable however to get dual head display working. I have previously set up dual-head successfully with xorg and xinerama by referencing the PCI hook of each head - using AGP cards. It runs dual-head under XP just fine. The strange part is that under linux I'm not seeing a 2nd PCI hook with this card. Is this a quirk of PCI-e? Any ideas?

Ubuntu 6.06
Leadtek 7600GS/256 (PCI-e, dual DVI)

with nvidia instead of using xinerama you can use twinview, details of which can be found in the readme file available from the nvidia site, just follow links to download the linux drivers.
I mainly involves setting up another display in the xorg.conf.

Ah great, that's worked a treat. Thank you.

Now I just need to figure out why it's ignoring my screen resolution settings
