Dual graphics and monitors

I run 2 MSI TD256E graphics cards and two Dell 19 inch monitors. I dual boot Mandriva 2009 and Vista.

I cant seem to figure out how to get my dual screen setup wrking with Mandriva. It works fine witnh vista.

Im fairly new to Mandriva bu have some experience with Ubuntu and even successfully setup my dual display in Ubuntu.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Have you installed the proprietary nvidia drivers? Once that is done, then run nvidia-settings which is a useful and fairly intuitive program for doing this. I have been running dual monitors on Mandriva for a while now and use this method.

Do you know how to install the nvidia drivers?

If you don't want to use proprietary drives I guess you'll have tweak xorg.conf.
