Lightbulb Dual Monitors in Kubuntu 8.04


Friends,

I have the following.
P4, 2.8Ghz, Dual-Boot, HD1 = Vista, HD2 = Kubuntu 8.04.
Nvidia GForce Fx 5700.
2 x Monitors, Primary = Fujitsu Siemens ScaleView C-1910, Secondary = Dell Ultrascan P1110.

In Vista the Dual monitors work fine. Tongue
When I tried to get it working in 8.04 it led to all sorts of problems. After hours of struggling I am able to get back into 8.04.

I need help as to how to get the 2 monitors working in 8.04.

There are many posts which I am not sure is still applicable such as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174

Thanks in advance for the help.
