3 Monitor Setup Help?


I cant quite figure out what to search for so I figured id ask here.

I am running SuSe 10.2 with the nivida driver installed. I have 3 LCD Flat Panel Acer Monitors Hooked up to my machine.

One PCI Video Card with a TV-Out and Vga Out Supporting one monitor. Which is working fine.

However my AGP Video Card which has a DVI/VGA/TVOUT on it has 2 monitors hooked up to it my middle monitor which uses DVI is not working and is off but my VGA monitor to the left is on I normally use my DVI monitor as my main monitor in windows.

Both Cards are NVIDIA FX5500 Chipsets however they are made by differeent manufacturers. They work fine in windows ...

Help would be greatly appretiated.

Okay I have that fixed now but I have been presented with another problem. I am using a dual-head card. and a single head card the problem now is that when i maximise a window on one of the screens on the dual head card it spans both screens this is reall annoying especially when viewing video. How can I get the x server view that card as 2 monitors instead of one?
